October 2014 RNY-ers :)

It took exactly 1 week from the time my papers were submitted to insurance to get the "You're Approved!" phone call. They set up my surgery date that same day. My surgery day is Oct. 20th, with a pre-op appointment on the 14th.

You are so lucky. I have been working on this since Jan. 1st.

@@shellbell79, I'm so excited! I come back from a cruise the day before I start my 3 week preop diet, so, one last hoohrah for me!

Walkin onsunshine---Wow, so sorry!! It took me about 7 months back in 2008 when I had my lapband, but this time it only took about 3 months to get approved for RNY.

Daronb--that's something to really look forward to! I have a wedding on Oct 4th to go to, then start my 2 week liquids the Monday after the wedding. So one more last hoorah for me at the wedding I guess. I'm not really a partier, so not much of a hoorah. :-)

Texas here. Oct. 6 for me also!

Nice to see a fellow Texan. Good luck to you and everyone

Question!! So how much time does everyone plan to take off from work and what kind of work do you do?! I seem to be getting resistance becuz of the type of surg. But when I had Ivf or we are pregnant everyone is so nice to lend a helping hand but becuz this is "elective" I need to be able to carry deadweight.. FYI I work as an xray tech at a hospital.

My surgery is scheduled, for 10/31 and I'm going back 11/10. I work as an Opthalmic Tech but mostly do transcription.

@@amylynns, I have a wedding the 4th as well! But I'm not a partier either, lol.

I was told it could take up to 14 days for me to hear back from my insurance....it only took me 2! Woohoo!
