Started my process in October and had surgery March 23rd. Had to have 4 consecutive months of weigh ins, had to see a psych, get an endoscopy and see a nutritionist. Didn't mind the process. The time helped me get mortally prepared. I know some people habe to go through a longer process but I'm sure insurance make you do that because only those who want it will go through it.

I use source of life gold and superabsorbeze calcium strong teeth formula. Both pretty good and no problem taking. Had my surgery 3/23

I'm going to look into the slim fast and yogurt pops, thank you. I also have to find a new multi vitamin, I have gummies and forgot that they are not good to take after the surgery. Someone mentioned a liquid one, just not sure where they got it from.

3 days post op and I'm feeling great. From reading other people stories I was expecting the worst. I have a headache that I can't get rid of, that's it. Trying to get my my protein in now. Need another brand of shakes. My new stomach doesn't like the lean 25 from gnc anymore. Good luck everyone, we got this!

Been in the hospital since surgery Thursday. Can't get enough liquids in for me to leave. It hurts like hell. Surgery wasn't that bad, not much gas until I start to drink and I've been walking a lot. Hoping to go home today but we'll see

After going through so much I finally got approved. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. My surgery is scheduled for thursday. Not sure what I should take with me when I go but will soon figure it out

Nope! Still waiting and insurance is still saying pending. I was told today I can call Monday and speak to the pre certification staff because they are not there on the weekends. Wish I knew that was an option I would have done that yesterday.

So sorry to hear that. I had to reschedule due to a family member passing. Still waiting for approval. Was told I should hear something next week. If you can, you should do another appeal before deciding to go to Mexico. I'm sure it's frustrating. Good luck

I did and all I was told was that it's pending.

Thank you, I figured that was smarter but my surgeon said I'll have no issues. I'll probably call and postpone until I hear back from my insurance. Thanks!

My surgery is scheduled for this saturday and I have yet to get approved. I started my pre op diet and would hate to have done it to get denied. I feel as if I want to reschedule to a date after I get approved. Has anyone got approval right before their surgery date?

I had to add another month weigh in. My surgeon said she will speak to me on Friday about my options. I made an appointment to see my gyn and with another PCP for the end of this month just in case. Still trying to be optimistic about it.

That's great and good luck on your journey!

Same here and I hope you get approved as well. Have you started the process already?

I hope that's an option for me. Good luck on your journey!
