Question: can u use more than one patch at a time? (Vit D, B12, Calcium) all together in different spots or will that cause issues? Just curious because I am interested in using the Patches... qtonduty30

Thanx for the advice @reluctantMANGO...as of the 8th i will have all of my clearances...on the 8th I go for my medical clearance which is the last one before the surgical clearance...but they told me they wld submit it after the medical clearance and have me come back in to speak to Dr. Halbert in the wk or two while waiting for approval...they said i can get the pre-op stuff at that time so i would just have to wait for a call to start the diet because at that point they wld give me a date...im just so ready to have it done! Im so happy that u are doing well and are over that hump to the losers bench ...I will definitenly keep u ladies posted on what happens...Just excited that I have gotten this far and this is pretty much the end... qtonduty30

Hey, sorry haven't been on in a couple of days...im so happy ur doing well @reluctantMANGO...and redvet...no date yet...I did my sleep study last thursday night and my medical clearance is this friday coming 4/8...so after that they submit to insurance...im sooooo nervous about that part...i hope they accept it the first time without me having to do anything extra...I have been on this Journey since January which isn't long compared to some but i just want it to be over so I can start with my new life choices...how long after they submitted ur info to insurance did u hear something back?? I have BCBS DE (Personal Choice PPO)...just curious...i know everyone is different tho...Also, i see u bought alot of things for ur pre op diet...i hope to be in that boat soon...what are ur favorites out of what u bought? qtonduty30

Hey, I am still in my pre-op phase BUT I have been asking questions considering my last medical clearance is April 8th...I asked if worse case senerio I got denied what happens...they sd it goes into "peer review"...which means my bariatric doctor speaks to the doctor from the insurance company and try to convince them that it's necessary...so that they approve it at that point...I do have BCBS and that is what they told me it means...hope that helps...if not call them to find out exactly what it means...Good luck!! qtonduty30 Hey, I am still in my pre-op phase BUT I have been asking questions considering my last medical clearance is April 8th...I asked if worse case senerio I got denied what happens...they sd it goes into "peer review"...which means my bariatric doctor speaks to the doctor from the insurance company and try to convince them that it's necessary...so that they approve it at that point...I do have BCBS and that is what they told me it means...hope that helps...if not call them to find out exactly what it means...Good luck!! qtonduty30
