So I am scheduled to undergo RNY Gastric Bypass tomorrow and am on the 2 day pre-op clear liquid diet. In the guideline that my patient coordinator sent me it stated that I could have chicken broth, went to Hale and Hearty for lunch and they did not have chicken noodle Soup (I was going to just drink the broth) so instead I bought the lobster bisque Now I'm terrified even though the bisque was very creamy without anything in it at all. Anyone on here know if I'm screwed or if the bisque was okay to eat?

I was wondering the same thing lol. Hopefully we can get an answer

Hello. My name is Erica and I am fairly new to BP. I’ve completed all my requirements and am scheduled for RNY on December 14th. Have been on the pre-op liquid diet since last week Sunday [emoji30] but I’m getting used to the shakes and jello by now.

Good luck on Monday.

UPDATE: So I called my insurance company, UHC Oxford, and they gave me the great news...... I've been approved!!!! So I can keep my scheduled surgery date (12/14). Now it feels real.

[emoji1431][emoji1431][emoji1431]. Good luck with your journey. Time will go by very quickly.

I called three times lol. Still pending. Insane. How far along are you?

I wish they would have waited for the approval before giving me a date. [emoji30][emoji30] I’m just praying insurance gets back to us before the 14th so that I don’t have to reschedule.

Hello. My name is Erica and I am from NYC

So, I'm scheduled for surgery next week, December 14th, but I'm still waiting for insurance to approve. All of my paperwork was sent on December 1st. I CANNOT take the wait. I try so hard not to think about it but it is CONSUMING me

Thank you so much for sharing this

Hang in there. Hopefully it will get better.

Good luck. Wish you a speedy recovery.

Who is your insurance carrier?

Good luck [emoji1417]

My surgery date is on the 14th. I started the pre-op diet on Sunday. 1st day was easy today wasn’t so bad besides the headache at the end of the day. Good luck [emoji1417]

Ohhhh. Okay. Got it.

I had to be transferred over from Mount Sinai to Mount Sinai St. Luke because my insurance only allows the procedure to be done at a "Center for Excellence", whatever that means. But I'm on day two of my pre-op diet and my surgery is scheduled for December 14th.

Thanks for sharing. I'm in NY too. Where did you have your procedure done?

Hello all. Scheduled for gastric bypass on December 14th (pending insurance approval). My new surgeon is Dr. Kini and having the procedure done at st. Luke Roosevelt Hospital.

I have a tentative surgery date (pending insurance approval) for December 14th. I started my pre-op diet yesterday. So far so good.

I’m scheduled for my RNY on December 14th. Good luck tomorrow.

About two days

Thank goodness it was a seamless transfer. 30 minutes later and I have been transferred over to St. Lukes with a new surgeon and new surgery date, December 14th.

Soooooo............. I had my surgery date and was ready to go for December 26th to only get the dreaded call that my insurance will not approve the surgery to take place in Mount Sinai hospital. So now I am in the process of being transferred from one surgeon to another.
