Hello, so I've started smoking weed to combat my borderline personality disorder and wanted to know if they test for weed preop...I literally just started and haven't smoked much but I wanted to know the chances of it hindering me getting my sleeve done. I'm still in the process of getting worry thing ready to be sent over to my insurance for approval...no date has been set yet. Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

Yeah, I don't think any office actually reads the papers...I had to be upfront about my birth control and about me smoking hookah on the 23rd when scheduling me preop labs just now...so instead of doing them tomorrow I have to wait until next week Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

Awesome!!! Let me know when you've set your date Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App I am set for January 18th. I have to get a few test done and get an approval from my cardiologist to go under anesthesia. A lot to do in 2 weeks! Sent from my SM-G928V using the BariatricPal App Yes that reminds me I need to do pre registration and get me preop labs done...I can't wait for these three weeks to fly by Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

Lol, I mean they are so slow with it and have other patients as well...I did all of my stuff over the holidays and still got approved within a month...you just gotta stay on their asses...and make them remeber they aren't the only bariatric offices in town.

Lol I almost changed surgeons but my surgeon has such a good reputation and was my quickest appt. But as I stated before be your own advocate...very proactive in this pre op process...I bugged and checked on everything...made my own appointments for stuff I needed to get done and everything. Lol today I drove up to my office to get a surgery date after not being able to reach the scheduler by telephone and they emailed her again and by them time I was in my car she called and scheduled me...you just have to make them aware of how important this and also don't be afraid to let them know you have a deadline you're trying to me...whether true or not.

I'm glad to see someone else wondering the same thing that I have. I keep searching for an answer as well. I had my first appointment on December 21st with my surgeon, dietician, and psychologist. I brought in recent lab work, ultrasound of my liver and gallbladder, my sleep study report, and chest X-Ray. Everything the insurance needs, I already have met. I talked to them and since they have copies of all my records, they said I'm good to go. But I guess I was hoping someone would've said something at my doctor's appointment. All they kept saying is that they will send a letter out the first week of the year. I even asked, 'What would be in the letter? Would it say if I'm accepted into the program?' But the only answer I got was 'Oh, you're definitely in the program.' So, I never got my answer.[ So, long story short, I too am wondering if they submitted last week my information to the insurance for approval and what could possibly be in that letter. Maybe it's the tests they still may need me to do, although I can't imagine what it would be. I'm not sure if all doctors require an EKG or endoscopy, but my blood pressure, sugar, and cholesterol have always been really good. Sorry, I'm just going out of my mind and really want to, one, have a surgery date, but two, find out exactly what still needs to get done. ***Edit to add*** My original appointment was January 11th, but I was so impatient, I changed surgeons just so I could get in a month early. You can call your insurance to see if they submitted the request and your status on approval...as a lot over wls vets will say, you are your own biggest advocate...it's ok to be proactive in this...bug the hell out of your surgeons office and insurance. The faster you get surgery the faster they get paid anyway Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App
