Hi, ladies and gents! I'm basically a newbie to this site. I started the RNY process in January. I've had my initial appt. with some lab work. I was informed that I'm anemic based on lab results. Now I've been ordered to do an anemic profile. I've been scheduled to do a sleep study, pulmonary function test, and psych eval. My insurance is BCBS. I'm having to pay cash for several pre-op labs (that sucks). I think I'm on a pretty steady path to have surgery this summer. My waiting period is 6 months. I'm already 4 months down. PCP will give me clearance once he gets the final results of all lab work and tests. I'm kind of nervous about this whole process because I don't want any set-backs with insurance denials. I would greatly appreciate any support I can get from you guys. Thanks...

Hello! I began my 6-month process in early February, so I am hoping for a late July/early August surgery. I am a teacher, so it has to be done before mid-summer so I can start back to school on time. I am hoping to have everything completely done other than my last PCP visit and will be a nervous wreck once paperwork is submitted to insurance!

I see we're pretty much shooting for similar surgery dates. :) Please keep me posted on your process. Time is flying now.

Good luck sweetie! It is a long process, but in the end it will be well worth it. I am having my surgery on the 30th of this month and started the process in November of last year. I have Tricare for insurance, and to be seen by a civilian doctor would have involved many of the same things that you have to do. I was lucky enough to get in to the post hospital. I have been clearer for surgery for a month no, just had to wait for a surgical spot to open up.

CDC, I have BCBS also and have a required 6 month of physician supervised weight loss. It is going by rather quickly! I only have a few more appointments left and all my doctors seem to think approval will happen without any problems. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
