I would like to hear your pre-op and post-op experience. I am in the process right now and kinda want to know what to expect to.

The Doctors and staff are very good. I had my bypass with Dr. Page and I would recommend him highly. Much of the process depends on your insurance. The Bariatric Nurse Navigator (Amber McNulty) and Nutritionist/Dietician (Andrea Mattison) are always there for you if you have questions or need support. Mt Carmel also has various support groups you can attend before and after surgery. http://www.mountcarmelhealth.com/bariatrics

Thank you so much. I am finishing up my 90 day nutrition and only have to get a psych evaluation. I have at Aetna insurance, which company are you with and did it takes a long time to get approval?

United Health Care - 2 weeks from submit to approval. Maybe up to a week longer to get an actual surgery date.

That's not bad. Page will be doing mine as well. Dr. Miller as deferred to him because I'v had other surgeries on my abdomen.
