Hi fellow RNY patients!

I received a phone call this past Monday the 24th saying my perspective date is June 30th obviously if all previous tests go according to plan!

Anyone else having their surgery this June??

I don't have my date yet although my Pre op appointment is May 28... I am guessing i will know then

I'm hoping for an early June date. I'm in the process now of doing the pre-surgery appointments. My insurance doesn't require you lose or anything but I'm in a weird spot that I can't lose more than 4 pounds or I won't qualify for surgery any more. First time in my adult life that I'm not trying to lose weight! :)

Look forward to "hanging out" while we wait for our surgeries.

I too, am expecting an early June surgery. My chart is in medical review at the surgeon's office right now and they said it could take two to three weeks to get thru this stage. Then it's off to insurance, which I am sure they will take their sweet time. Actually, I don't know if they will be slow or not. I have UHC Choice Plus. I had a back surgery in February it took them 3 weeks to approve it, but it kind of special circumstance. It was for a spinal cord stimulator which has to have a trial and a couple of approvals. UHC doesn't require hardly anything on my part just a bariatric center of excellence, be over 18, and bmi over 40. No diet or psych evaluation. I am already on their preop diet of replacing two meals with Protein Shakes and a light dinner. I have been on it since March 10th. I have lost 13 pounds just doing their diet. I hope everyone who has a date set has a good surgery and recovery. Also keep us posted. I will be busy playing the waiting game.

I am doing alright I guess, I am finding it difficult waiting for the surgeon's office to submit my info to insurance. My chart was only in medical review for two days. I have been told three different stories by the same person. First she said it would be submitted last week, turns out the insurance coordinator wasn't even there last week. Then she told me it would be before the end of the week, now she says sometime next week. I try not to call and bother the clinic, but I am just so frustrated.

the waiting game is kinda crazy. but just stay on top of them regarding your paperwork. as for myself I'm schedule for surgery on June 20th. is seems so far away, yet so close. I have an upper gi schedule for tomorrow and I'm a bit nervous about it.

Is it an upper gi series? I had it last weekend. It gave me a bit of nausea but it went by pretty quickly :)

Hang in there. I am stalking my insurance website daily to see if its all been submitted. This waiting game is nervewracking!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
