I tried to change to RNY but they said my insurance already approved VSG.

T Thanks! It was a long process for me because I missed 1 month of my 6 month weight ins and had to start it over twice but other than that all the other requirements were easy and quick. Yes, I do have to do 2 weeks liquid diet [emoji37] which I start on 08/25/17. I'm so nervous and I'm really questioning myself on my choice of surgery. In the beginning I chose gastric bypass but when I met with my surgeon I ended up choosing the sleeve but now I'm thinking should I have went with the gastric bypass. Ugh lol

I'm also from the Bronx. I'm scheduled for surgery 09/08/17 at New York Presbyterian in Washington Heights. As far as support goes I have very little but I'm determined to make this tool work for me. You mentioned not having a social life, I have become the same way. Sent from my LGMS210 using BariatricPal mobile app

It's been almost two weeks and I'm still in pending status. Im so nervous!![emoji30] Sent from my LGMS210 using BariatricPal mobile app

They're extremely helpful they make sure your on top of all your testings. I had nothing but good experiences with them. Requirements: 6 monthly weight ins Sleep study Endoscopy Breathing test Echocardiogram Sonogram of liver Pulmonary function test You have to meet with the dietitian (this you pay $250 out of pocket for 3 visits) Sounds like a whole lot but all these tests can be done within a month. The only thing that takes long is the six months weigh-ins. Sent from my LGMS210 using BariatricPal mobile app

Yes I did I was approved 2 days later on July 26th. The process took 6 months because fidelis requires 6 monthly weigh-ins. I'm having my surgery at New York Presbyterian with Dr. Abraham Kirkhely. Sent from my LGMS210 using BariatricPal mobile app
