Hi there! I'm in Wichita and just joined here last week. Haven't seen many Kansans here.

Where are you in your weight loss journey?

[Schwinngirl1987 21]

Hi April! I am in the, what I call, the "hoop jumping" stage of my journey. I have BCBS insurance which requires a 6 month physician followed diet program, I'm going in today for my 4 month doctor visit. I've met my surgeon for the first time and have had the psych eval (passed, yay!), saw a dietitian and have had a preliminary sleep study done. Whew! After all of that I can have everything turned into insurance to see if they will cover my surgery (fingers crossed). Then, I will get a surgery date.

Where are you in your journey? I'm excited to get to meet someone else from Kansas, WELCOME!!

Hi,

I'm new on here and I'm in Wichita. I'm 3 weeks post-op from having the RNY done.

[Schwinngirl1987 21]

I hope everything went well with your surgery! It's good to find another person from Kansas!!

I'm actually from Topeka Schwingirl. Born and raised there. My surgery went great. The whole process to get to my surgery was an amazing journey. I had to have surgery in Lenexa at The Bariatric Center of Kansas City. My surgeon and nutritionists are awesome. Having the RNY was the best thing I've ever done for myself.

I wish you the very best in your journey. I've also worked in the medical ins field for 30 years so if any questions regarding ins or surgery I will do my best to help.

Hey, small world! I'm so glad everything is going well I'm still on a long road, trying to get some weight off before a surgery date can be scheduled. Sometimes it feels like I'm not going to get there but I keep trying! I can't wait to get to where you are. Happy journey

Hey ladies im using dr dunchee of tallgrass Iv done all requirements and meet with surgeon now just waiting for my phone call for my approval and date... Any Idea on how long this takes

[Schwinngirl1987 21]

Good to see you here! I'm not all that sure how long it takes. With my insurance I have to go through the six month doctor supervised weight loss program before they will approve me, still in the middle of that after a setback and now back on the right path. I've heard of some who got their approval and surgery date within a couple of weeks but like I said I'm not totally sure of the time frame. Good luck and best wishes to you !
