My insurance just called to tell me that I have been APPROVED for rny on July 3!!! My pre-OP class is on June 18. This thing just got really real! ?

Have you heard anything back yet? Keep us posted. My documents were submitted for approval on June 4. Dr gave me tentative surgery date of July 3. I hope to hear back soon. Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm scheduled for RNY on July 3. I began my process in Feb with the seminar, and I'm relieved and excited that my day is finally coming up. I'll be in the hospital for 2 nights, so I'll be watching 4th of July fireworks on TV in my hospital room lol sw: 311 cw: 280 5'7 Female 42 yrs. old Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

I take Bariatric Fusion with iron chewable. I take 2 tablets in the a. m. and 2 in the p.m. I buy them from Amazon using their subscribe and save program. One bottle equals one month supply.

Treadmills are for bad weather days. I prefer to be out on my bike. I did about half of the Lakefront Trail yesterday morning!

Lucky for me these are both in my Chicago area! I will be heading out soon to pick these both up. I miss delicious coffee and my current decaf ain't it thanks for the tip!

June 26th is my tentative date, depending on how fast my insurance approves. Otherwise, my date will be July 2. I'm using the July date as my countdown so I won't be disappointed if I don't go in June. Female SW 311 (2/28/19) CW 276 (5/26/19) SW ?

Congrats! I am scheduled for RNY on July 2 or June 26, but it's most likely to be July 2. My countdown tells me it's 40 days away from surgery date and I go thru cycles of being excited and nervous! Good luck to us both! Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

I have BCBS of IL with my school district as a high school teacher. There was no insurance requirement to wait any set number of months. However, my program requires 3 months of visits with surgeon, nutritionist, other dr releases, and medical exams. I started this process in Feburary with the bariatric seminar and have my final appointment on June 2. I have been scheduled for surgery either June 26 or July 2, depending on insurance approval.

Like you, I started years ago (2015), got to the end of process, and got denied by my insurance. I started in another district in January 2019 and immediately began the wls process when I found out I had coverage with my new insurance. Im scheduled for RNY either June 26 or July 2. I'm a 42 year old high school teacher, so I'll be spending my summer break recovering/ enjoying my new life.

So far on my journey, I have given up sugar, alcohol, caffeine, and most recently, my e-cig... I'm honestly shocked that i haven't already seriously hurt somebody in my house! LOL

I'm scheduled for either June 26 or July 3 (depending on insurance approval). My birthday is July 29, so I'll still be getting myself together on my birthday. I'll definitely be in recovery on the 4th of July!

I gave up smoking many years ago and gave up vaping 0 mg at the start of my journey in February. But I'm just curious... I know that we're not supposed to smoke or vape prior to surgery. I've also heard that even 0 mg nicotine vape isn't allowed either. Does 0mg contain any nicotine? If not, why isn't it allowed? Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

Congrats on 289! I woke up to 278 this morning ? I'm headed to the store today to get containers for my sf jello too. I've been using box jello bc it's so much cheaper.

I hope you get answers quick. Im in Chicago area. Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

Did you quit vaping before your surgery too? Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app
