Rita48 replied to Itsjustjustin's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
You look great! -
It's official, I was approved in 3 days!
Rita48 replied to Rita48's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had to do a monthly visit with my PCP for 4 months. The day I left my PCP office, I called surgeon office (while still sitting in parking lot [emoji6]) and schedule an appointment. Once paperwork was submitted I was officially approved for procedure in 3 days! -
Awesomeness! You look amazing! Congratulations!!!

Thank you!!! I'm so ready for this lifestyle change, struggles and all!!! -
I was in office on Monday and they said they were working on it to submit, so I called the next day to see if it was submitted! I have great news called insurance today about something else and just asked about my status so they said I was approved yesterday. I then called the office and told them, they checked and confirmed!

Congratulations!!! Exciting! -
I've also did my double checking, the office said they were sending it in on Monday, I called office on Tuesday to confirm that they sent it in, then I called insurance on today to make sure they had it! Now I'm just patiently waiting! Good luck to you! Did your surgeon give you a tentative date? Mine is May 9th pending approval!

Praying for us all!

Too clarify, you have gained weight since your initial visit with your surgery? If so, my surgeon told me that I couldn't gain weight from my initial visit, if I did that insurance would deny me. It may be different for different insurances. Have you been approved yet?

Pre-Op diet starts tomorrow!!!
Rita48 replied to BubbleSam's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi! Do you already have your approval? I have my final appointment with my PCP tomorrow! -
I'm still pre-op but was just trying to get ideas and prepare. I saw a brand by BeechNut, it was turkey and turkey broth.

Have anyone tried baby food on Pureed Diet?
Rita48 replied to Rita48's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Out of curiosity I tried the turkey and added a little Mrs Dash and it wasn't so bad, without Mrs Dash it was very Bland. -
Have anyone tried baby food on Pureed Diet?
Rita48 replied to Rita48's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
My NUT actually recommended baby food as an option for Pureed phase. -
This great information that I did not know, I was planning on working day before also. I'm still in the pre-op phase, so I will surely ask my surgeon! Good Luck to you! [emoji2]

Hi Audrey! I'm hoping to have sleeve in May as well? I have my last appointment with PCP next week. Have you been approved for surgery yet?

Where is everyone from???
Rita48 replied to juliorodz's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey Courtney, I'm from the Houston area. -
I am also a nurse who is planning to have the sleeve next month. I don't have my surgery date yet, I will finish my pre-op appointments on the 20th of this month. I have told my nurse manager who is really cool and have planned to take two weeks off. I am looking forward to seeing how other nurses are doing once they go back to work.
