I just had my case submitted to my insurance company on Friday YAY! Finally jumped thru all the hoops! ð Hopefully I will be scheduled in the next few weeks. So excited to begging this journey if getting and staying healthy!!

I went for my last appt on the 19th and called the ins company today to see where my paperwork was! I just want my approval! They said it could take a week (today) up to 3 weeks to get the approval! I'm not so patiently waiting! :)

Good luck!

Now I am really getting scared. I haven't seen a cardiologist or pulm' date=' last sleep study was 5+ years ago, egd was 5+ years ago and never had a psych eval. Ins approved mine and surg is 9/3.

Has anyone else not had to have all this testing? Did they forget something? Calling office first thing in morning.[/quote']

I did have any test done all I had done was blood work last year. I had a ECg like 4 years ago they said I was young and i did not need it. But I went to my own primary doctor and had all my blood work done and again and to make sure he said I was good to go for surgery

I have not heard anything about needing an EDG. Is this normally routine pre op or just case by case?

I am surprised about that I have one scheduled before my surgery, and I am going the same place you are.

They said my health was good. - weight and family history. Did have terrible high blood pressure. But that was cured by quiting my job!!

I guess if they needed more tests they would have ordered them. 7days pre op done only lost 7 pounds... But they said to only expect 5 so I have topped that.

I will be calling them today! I don't want that to be the reason I get held up! Maybe they are waiting to see if ins approves me first?

Reading threads also. I had to see nutritionist and psych and that's it. We have Humana military. Also I finished all appts on the 12 and got my day on the 16 of Aug. So sad that some have to go thru shoo much for this.

Started my Protein diet yesterday for surgery on the 9th. Very nervous and excited. Though I need to loose weight (bmi is 36) I mostly s dBm doing this to"cure" diabetes and high bp. The diet $$$ bad yesterday but better today. Lots of broth and fluids is the key, ie Crystal lite. Hugs to all my Sept bandster buds.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
