Are you Sleeve to RNY?
I was sleeved 2014, never met my goal weight and gained over half my weight back [emoji17]. Being revised to rny on 11/8 due to horrible GERD! My surgeon stated the revision will correct my GERD and well as jump start my weightloss. Would love to hear some revision stories. V4

Anthem BCBS Approval Time
Hi smb123, I work with WF as well! I just finished my 7 month diet. My surgeons office stated that BCBS wouldn't recognize the first month as my starting month so therefore I had to complete 7 mo and not 6! Eventhough when I called BCBS I was told only 6 months was required. I just went with it, because I didn't want to go back and forth with the coordinator. Needless to say my info was submitted on this week Monday!!!! So now it's the waiting game! I will keep you posted. Good luck to you! V4

Anyone just starting their sleeve journey ?
I'm just starting my process as well. I went to the seminar last week Saturday, and my first consultation with my surgeon is exactly a month away. I have my psychological evaluations week after that. My insurance does not require me to do the 6 months. I'm just nervous with anticipation having to wait a month to visit with my surgeon. Congratulations to everyone who are just starting their journey!!!

Congratulations jenny13!! I'm having my surgery in birmingham also. I just started my process, I went to the orientation yesterday with Dr. DeWitt. Who is your surgeon?
