My insurance required six months of doctor supervised weight loss visits before approval. So I did all the other stuff on my checklist during that time. By the time my six months was up we were able to submit for approval and had a date about a week later.
I'm two and a half years post sleeve and down 130 pounds. Converted to a bypass ten days ago thanks to horrible reflux but it's still the best decision I ever made. It's a lot of hard work but it gave me a whole new life.

You welcome. Only advice is to get yourself prepared by having everything you need for each stage after your Surgury so you have peace of mind that you are going to follow everything according. Go grocery shopping for what you need for a few weeks. It's easier that way. 😀

Ty, and congrats on makig this decision, it will be hard, the tip i can give u, i did a jouney book starting with my heaviest weight photos and the labs the doctor ordered, the first diets, photos of my surgery day before and after surgery, my first meals, thoughs, and stuff, when i feel like sad or depressed i look at that book and i remember myself why i chose this path. If u would like to see my book/ ask question or something just give me a number or an email and i would be happy to share my experience with you

Well i got my surgery date 3 or 4 months after my first surgeon appointment but i guess its different depending on your insurance and surgeon. And well i did mine in México and was selfpaid guess that moved things a little bit faster, but even if its a month or 6 months away know that this has changed many peoples lives for the better, i can asure you it did with mine, im just 3 months post op rny gastric bypass and now im living completely different from what i used to. I see my before surgery pictures and they seem like it was another life, like that person its not me anymore. Keep up!!.
