Ty all for ur responses....so I'm currently at urgent care they took a urine sample and confirmed I do have a uti they prescribed me anti biotics and phenazopyridine for pain,just praying this has no affect on my surgery Monday the Dr I seen today said I came in at a good time so 2 full days of anti biotics may help me out a lot prior to 3/5..***fingers crossed*** all goes well Sent from my SM-S820L using BariatricPal mobile app

Does anyone know if you have an uti if that will affect you getting surgery or not?I'm scheduled for monday morning so just curious

March 5th for me I'm nervous as well but ready...I'll let u know how it goes for me Sent from my SM-S820L using BariatricPal mobile app

After all the worrying I did I called insurance today and they told me I'm approved for surgery...next Monday(March 5th) is the day!I'm nervous but excited and ready [emoji4] Sent from my SM-S820L using BariatricPal mobile app

I can't wait til I'm able to make a post like this Good luck though...you will do great!

Ok,thank you for responding

I'm currently scheduled for surgery on March 5th pending insurance approval.I have called a total of 3 times once I was told they had just received my info and was attaching it to my file for the nurse who had to review my claim to make a decision.The other 2 times I was told they haven't received anything yet.Drs. office telling me they submitted info and we should have a response any time now.Has anyone else ever been in this position if so what was the outcome...what did u do?Because I just left a message with my surgeons secretary again.

Not sure if your a water drinker but that's what helped me alot I worked out,It was rare tho.Once I stopped drinking juices and soda I seen the pounds coming off.I know it's hard but it does help

YAY!! Congrats,you got this s/n:I'm 2 weeks from today

March 5th for me (pending insurance approval)

I have a question on this topic,,I'm not scheduled for surgery until mid march.All the way up to the day I was scheduled for surgery I was being told I would have to do a liquid diet for 7-10 days before surgery.However now I'm being told I only have to be on a liquid diet 24 hrs prior to surgery...has anyone ever heard of this?I thought it was kinda weird

Hello All,I'm scheduled for March 14th as long as insurance approves me *fingers crossed* Sent from my SM-S820L using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm also waiting for approval I got a surgery date today of 3/14...I'm hopeful insurance will come through....goodluck to you tho!

YAY! &congrats to you as well

Ty,congrats&goodluck to you as well

I had my consultation with the surgeon today and was scheduled for March 14th...that's 2 days before my birthday,I'm super excited Sent from my SM-S820L using BariatricPal mobile app

Finally got scheduled for my consultation with the surgeon I was thankful to receive that call but not excited I'll save my excitement for when insurance (hopefully) approves me Sent from my SM-S820L using BariatricPal mobile app

Ok I will try that...thanks !

I got a message from the secretary on 1/10 letting me know she needed clearance for 2 more things.My psych eval(which was on friday and I was medically cleared)and then the results from my sleep study which is on 1/25 before she could schedule my surgery consultation.Well I got to thinking today what if I don't have sleep apnea which I feel I don't.However I emailed the doctor from there and she said it was determined I have mild sleep apnea and that we would go over exactly what that means when we meet next week as well as treatment for it.She also said to me that the Dr. office can call and find out that info so that it doesn't stall my surgery consultation being scheduled.Well with her saying that I now want to call the secretary and see if I can get an appointment for next friday to meet with the surgeon.I don't want it to seem like I'm being pushy but I'm anxious and I know I have some more waiting to do for insurance to approve me.I don't want to prolong the situation any more than it has to be.So my question is am I wrong if I want to call the secretary to see if she can schedule me for next friday to meet the surgeon? I don't want it to seem like I'm stepping on anyone's toes or being pushy

I'm glad it worked out for you,how are you since surgery?did you have a smooth recovery?

I had my psych eval today,I was really worried about "passing" but it all went well I was expecting it to last hours,also I was expecting to have to go back for a follow up but it only lasted about a hour and she cleared me for surgery [emoji4] Sent from my SM-S820L using BariatricPal mobile app
