    Medications and surgery types

    Unfortunately I do but it's not as bad as it used to be.
  2. So I take Wellbutrin, Abilify, Adderall, Ambien and pain meds for chronic back issues. Will any of these be effected by the different surgeries? None of them are ER if that makes a difference.
  3. So I got an approval letter from Anthem BC/BS yesterday and it had an approved date of 6/30/17. Does that mean they scheduled my surgery for that date? I go on 5/23 to schedule but maybe they already scheduled it?
  4. I have been on this journey for almost a year now. I had jumped through the insurance hoops only to have my insurance company change right before a date could be set! So then I went through all of the requirements for the new company. I was approved immediately over the phone last week!! Now I'm starting to second guess my decision for RNY and am thinking more along the lines of sleeve. My reflux has improved greatly over the past few months and that was my main reasoning for RNY to begin with. I have an appointment on 5/23 to set my surgery date. I have a EDG scheduled for 5/11 and will have an UGI on 5/23 as well. What are some things you considered when making your choice between the two surgeries. My doc does think I'm a good candidate for RNY.

    September Surgery...Lets do this

    I'm hoping for a September surgery. I have one more NUT appointment on the 31 of August then we can submit to insurance for approval. I really want to get it in September because my insurance deductible gets reset October 1. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    Psych visit?

    Mine asked questions about why I want the surgery, what I expect from surgery, if I understood what was going to happen, and stuff like that. No big deal really! You'll be just fine!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    Can I resubmit to insurance?

    So I just received a notice from my insurance that my psych eval was denied because it was not medically necessary. Once the requirements are met and I submit for insurance approval can I resubmit that claim for possible coverage? Not quite sure how all of this insurance stuff works!!

    Do you think I'll be ok?

    That's the good thing about online classes...I'm able to work ahead! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
  11. So I'm planning on surgery sometime in September. I am also planning on going back to school...Liberty University Online...in August. The classes of course are all online but can be pretty intense. Do you think I'll be fine after surgery to keep up with my online classes? Classes consist of a lot of reading and paper writing.

    Greasy Hair?

    It could be a fluctuation in your hormones. My hair and skin started getting SUPER oily after I had my partial hysterectomy. I was told it was because of a change in my hormones. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
