I have finished with all my pre-certification testing: consultation, labs, and Manometry, clearance from PCP and Psychiatric. I just received a call that everything has been submitted to my insurance! Now I wait for the approval!! I am hoping to have my surgery by the end of January.

I am right there with you. All my stuff was submitted and I am waiting for the call. I am hoping to be done in mid to end of January. I am nervous but excited. I need this kick in my ass to get my life back on track and I want to be a good role model for my two boys. I want better for them then what I have become. And it will be nice to be able to run around with them come summer time. Where abouts are you? I am in MA.

Yay!!!! Congrats!!!!???? my insurance is making me complete a weekly phone conducted information sessions about hypertension. It takes 3 weeks to finish. When that is finished, my case will go before the medical board to be approved. I probably won't know until the end of January. ????

I saw my surgeon, Dr Schneider, in Boston, MA yesterday and was cleared for surgery. Surgery date is 2/24. I need to lose 10 lbs before then, and pre op diet starts two weeks prior. I am excited and nervous! 2 months and counting!

      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.
