Anyone having surgery in May? Im trying to get my surgery scheduled for May 1st

May 6th for me!!!

I can't wait till this liquid diet is over

I agree with you too, I only have 5 days left off the liquid .

i am excited and nervous too! my surgery is on MAY 20 and i start my preop diet next week on the 5th.

31 days till my surgery and I find out yesterday that my insurance denied it saying it is not medically necessary. They want to do a peer-to-peer call with my doctor to try to get an override. I sure hope that works. Otherwise I'm just going to have to put myself in debt for it. I've been prepping for this for almost 2 years. What a HUGE frustration!

This happened to me too! But I went through 6 months of copays and visits and my surgery was scheduled for January 10th then I found out my insurance coverage changed to meet ACA standards January 1st and was no longer covering it. So I'm paying out of pocket for it now.

I thought if insurance approved to begin with you were fine. Yikes this is scary. I myself am waiting approval. I am on my last month.

day 5 of pre-op diet. 7 lbs down and feeling good. I find that If I keep my mind occupied, I don't really get hungry, so yesterday I went on a 3 mile trail hike.

Hope everyone else is doing good on their pre-op diet! 10 more days until I'm banded!!!

I am on day 10 of my liquid diet, most 15lbs as of Friday. My surgery is May 2nd. I agree with you if I stay busy I find it keeps my mind off being hungry.

congrats

I should be getting banded towards the end of May. I have my appointment on May 13 for the psych clearance, I already had my espogham (swallowing test) last Sat. I still need to get pre-op clearance before I can schedule my surgery. Has anyone else gone through these types of test for surgery?
