Eek! One month from today sassyfrass! I'm so excited for you.

I got a call from my navigator Friday letting me know everything was in order and that all my paperwork had been fax'd to the insurance. So now I wait for their answer. I'm counting down the days until I hear. I don't think I should have any problems since I have so many comorbidities along with the 100 lbs. overweight. But, as soon as I know I'll let you know!!

@@sassyfrass23 I just started my process. I have UHC. I am so glad you posted this! I have my first dietician appointment today and will be in the office to ask about the 6 month pre approval for surgery. I would never have thought to ask this.

@@Smitty42 the odd and end things are exhausting. It never would have crossed my mind. But luckily it all worked out. It appeared to be something my husband's employer chose though. So hopefully it won't be like that for you!

@@sassyfrass23 I do have a pre-op diet. It is a two week Liquid Protein shake diet. Isn't that what you have too? I hope my date will be around yours. We will see once the nurse calls me. Hopefully I'll hear from her and schedule surgery by this coming Friday! Hubby is excited and scared for me too. He is just praying that this will help all my health issues. He will be my biggest supporter, and trust me when I tell you, he watches my eating like a hawk! Can't get away with anything with him around! hhahahaha

[sassyfrass23 525]

That's exactly how my husband is! His mom had RNY 10 years ago. So luckily this isn't his first rodeo. He is my biggest cheerleader and I'm grateful for that...especially after seeing so many sad post on here where people don't have supportive family or significant others.

Hey!! I had my surgery on 03.29.16. So just a little over 2 weeks out. I'm feeling great. The first few days were a bit rough from the pain, but around day 5, things really improved. I went back to work a week and 2 days later and have been able to manage. I just come home a little more tired than usual. But I expect that to improve around week 6.

So far, including the pre op diet, I've lost a total of 28 lbs! 18 on the diet and 10 post op.

So far so good and so so grateful I have embarked in this journey!
