My RNY is scheduled for Feb 19th in Richmond VA.

I have been wondering if it would feel worse than a c-section!!!! This puts me at ease because my c-section left me totally traumatized concerning surgery in general. I absolutely hated it and WAS NOT prepared cause it was an emergency c-section.

Feb 8th!! Getting so excited for this new journey! Good luck to all your surgeries! We got this!!

Checking in with this group I’m getting gastric sleeve surgery and it’s scheduled for February 4th

I'm hoping for February! I see the surgeon on Jan. 14th to get a date. Hope to join you all!

I’m scheduled for gastric bypass on Feb. 13th. Should be a great Valentine’s Day for me and the hubby. 😁
Let us know how things go for you.

Yay for all of us! I’m scheduled for February 4th to have the sleeve done and will be having it done in Puerto Vallarta .. I’m excited as well but am terrified all at once! I have a very supportive husband who has seen my weight fluctuate so much in the past 6 years and has never made me feel unattractive or undesirable. With that said, I want to do this for him as much as it is for myself. I want to feel attractive so I can make him happier! I also have really bad family genes.. my mom died 10 years ago at 60 of heart disease and I don’t want to suffer the same horrible fate she did so I decided to take control and do all I can to live a long and healthy life. Cheers to everyone who has decided to take control as well! We all should be so happy that this option is available:)

My date is February 4

I'm going to check in with the February group as my surgery is on January 31st. Wishing you all the very best, as we don't need luck. Just preparation and dedication.

I'm scheduled to have my sleeve done on Feb.4th 2020

Congratulations

I’ll be February as well. I don’t have an exact date yet but I know it will be the end of February.

Congratulations on your date...

I wanted to give an update! I cut hours at work ad submitted pay stubs to be covered by 10/1 and they made an error on their end in our family size, so i had to resubmit some information to be re-processed. So after two VERY VERY long months, I was finally approved for medicaid coverage starting on 11/1! Durring these two months i paid out of pocket for my weigh-ins ($90 a pop). All I have left to do is see my nutritionist one more time and have my endoscopy done & we'll be ready to submit paperwork! It's been frustrating but worth it!

I'm expecting to be scheduled sometime in January. I have my last appointment with my NUT next week and my endoscopy appointment 12/12. After that I'm done and can submit everything for approval 🙂. I'd love to be supported and support others as well!

So, I recently went to see Dr. Vadim Gritsus about getting the sleeve done. I currently have Horizon NJ Health through NJ Family Care (medicaid) but I'm being cut off at the end of the month because my income is now over the limit. NJ Family Care suggested purchasing insurance through the Marketplace. That being said, I'm wondering if anyone knows of an insurance plan offered through the marketplace that has a 3 month or less requirement process for bariatric surgery. I've considered quitting my job in order to keep the medicaid but its just too drastic and I'd rather do the right thing and purchase insurance (the insurance through my job doesn't cover bariatric surgery).My BMI is 41 and I've already been told I qualify.

wowww, not including doctors/specialist visits I assume.

I am actually considering this. I'm just not sure what they'll ask me for... a paystub? and if so, I won't have on that displays a reduction in hours until next Friday Aug 23rd. I guess I'll call and ask what would be required if I"m expecting my hours to be cut.
