Hello everyone , so I submitted my last paper today and my surgery date is Feb 14, 2018. Please pray for me. Hoping Fidelis approves it. BMI is 40.6 and I lost about 6 pounds during my supervised diet.

Having mines of Feb14 . I hope I get approve !!!!

Hello guys, I will be getting my surgery date next week and I couldn't be happier. I will not lie I am extremely nervous/anxious. especially because I don't know how I will take the 14 days liquid diet. I would highly appreciate if you guys can give me tips and names of products you utilized throughout this liquid diet. Thank you very much.

yes ! I now It will be hard for a couple of days because we are so mentally programed to eat once we feel hungry . This will definitely prepare me even more for the surgery . best of luck

Best of luck . We are all in this together . keep me posted.

wow I'm just hoping I don't go crazy hahaha . I tend to get a lot of head hunger . Any tips you can share with me would be very well appreciated.

Best of luck, keep me posted with your process. I will be getting my surgery date on january 26 whooohoooo . no solids as well.

You are right ! . thanking you for your advice.

I feel your pain ! ugh but hey we have to do it . when will you be starting your liquid diet? are u allowed to have some solids ?

WOW a month sounds insane! . But you got this!!!!!, think about all the benefits you will get from it afterward. the only thing about mines is that I cannot have any solids at all. I hope the shakes and the broth would keep me full . I'm afraid I'm going to become a different person when I get hungry hahaha. Best of luck. keep me posted

WOw that is awesome you are almost done!!!!. Good job!!. thank you for the recommendation. it seems like a lot of people like premier. did you ever tried putting unflavored protein in your broth?? I heard it makes a difference.

I wish you the best of luck. We got this. I'm just afraid I would end up getting hangry at work hahaha. keep me posted!

Hello, I am also trying to get vsg though Fidelis Ny. do you mind telling me how long it took you to get approved?

Thank you very much!!

Hello guys, so last week I was finally able to get my first visit with my psychologist. Because I have Fidelis NY i'm required to do two visits. Now my first visit went great he said I am a great candidate for surgery but before sending off my results to my surgeon he wants me to write a journal and bring it back for him to read it . I'm so confused because I honestly have nothing to write about. I need HELPP , Has anyone else done this before . If so what do you suggest me to write about . Thank you .

They just want to see that you are trying to lose weight. Just make sure you don't go under your bmi or they will disqualify you. You can lose but you should not gain. Try not to stress over this because believe me it will only make it harder for you. what i've done is meal prep it, helps me maintain the same weight if not just lose 1 , 2 pounds a month. good luck. I still have 2 months to go.

The same thing is happening to me I keep gaining 2 pounds then losing it on the following visit I hope this doesn't affect me. I have fidelis care NY. I still have two more visits.

Thank you !!It was actually for my endoscopy.

Hello everyone I’m a little bit new in this whole process . I’m on my third moth 3/6 of the supervised diet . I have fidelis with Medicaid and for some reason I recieved a letter stating ; review type : precertification service and it clearly says that my doctors request has been approved . Then it says REMARKS: ambulatory surgery . Now what exactly does this means ?? Please help I’m very anxious can’t wait until tomorrow for an answer haha thank you !!!

Hello everyone I also started my process in August I should be having surgery in Feb too .

Hey girl I hope you are doing and feeling great!!!! I have one question in regards to dr.robins I still have my second visit pending with him . He said i should write a journal on how I feel . Did he do the same thing with u . I found this weird.

Hey !!! everyone has anyone had surgery done through Fidelis care in NYC or at mount Sinai hospital ?????

Hey I’m 21 turning 22 in December and I’m also in the process for a life change . Best of luck .

hey guys im going through the process of getting surgery . Im on my third month and I already got a precertification approval by mail . But still have 3 months to go how is this even possible???
