Maybe someone can answer this for me. Well I'm finishing up all the requirements that had to be completed for my insurance to cover surgery. My husband has to have back surgery soon and I know after my surgery I can't pick up my 2yr old for like a month and my husband can't for longer than that. So my question is does anyone know when everything will expire like the psych visit,seminar, 6 month weight class & dietician visits? I really didn't want to come this far to have do everything all over again but my husband needs his surgery first because of severe pain. I'm healthy and not in pain just overweight

I have gone through all of this pre op testing already twice. (Was denied twice by insurance) I was told I have to start over from scratch now because its been more than two years.

Sent with kindness and support for everyone's journey.

My surgery was November 15th, I am a stay at home mom to 3 girls, 6, 4, and at the time 20 months. I was picking the baby up by day 4 and driving by day 5 post op. So you may not be out of commission for a month. I believe most of it, minus the blood work is good for a year, but that would be a question your surgeon and or insurance customer service rep can answer.

Hope hubby's surgery goes well!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
