Hi fellow RNY patients!

I received a phone call this past Monday the 24th saying my perspective date is June 30th obviously if all previous tests go according to plan!

Anyone else having their surgery this June??

That would be great Michelle_Rose ....... someone to literally go thru things at the same basic time ..... priceless

I am scheduled for surgery on June 10th. So excited, and I hope the days start to go by faster but waiting is killing me lol. I am having the roux en y.

I'm hoping for an early June date. I'm in the process now of doing the pre-surgery appointments. My insurance doesn't require you lose or anything but I'm in a weird spot that I can't lose more than 4 pounds or I won't qualify for surgery any more. First time in my adult life that I'm not trying to lose weight!

Look forward to "hanging out" while we wait for our surgeries.

I too, am expecting an early June surgery. My chart is in medical review at the surgeon's office right now and they said it could take two to three weeks to get thru this stage. Then it's off to insurance, which I am sure they will take their sweet time. Actually, I don't know if they will be slow or not. I have UHC Choice Plus. I had a back surgery in February it took them 3 weeks to approve it, but it kind of special circumstance. It was for a spinal cord stimulator which has to have a trial and a couple of approvals. UHC doesn't require hardly anything on my part just a bariatric center of excellence, be over 18, and bmi over 40. No diet or psych evaluation. I am already on their preop diet of replacing two meals with protein shakes and a light dinner. I have been on it since March 10th. I have lost 13 pounds just doing their diet. I hope everyone who has a date set has a good surgery and recovery. Also keep us posted. I will be busy playing the waiting game.

How is everyone doing? I just finished my psych evaluation yesterday and the physicians office should be submitting to insurance soon . I'm hoping for the second week in June

I am doing alright I guess, I am finding it difficult waiting for the surgeon's office to submit my info to insurance. My chart was only in medical review for two days. I have been told three different stories by the same person. First she said it would be submitted last week, turns out the insurance coordinator wasn't even there last week. Then she told me it would be before the end of the week, now she says sometime next week. I try not to call and bother the clinic, but I am just so frustrated.

the waiting game is kinda crazy. but just stay on top of them regarding your paperwork. as for myself I'm schedule for surgery on June 20th. is seems so far away, yet so close. I have an upper gi schedule for tomorrow and I'm a bit nervous about it.

Is it an upper gi series? I had it last weekend. It gave me a bit of nausea but it went by pretty quickly

Hang in there. I am stalking my insurance website daily to see if its all been submitted. This waiting game is nervewracking!

I got a call saying my surgery is June 4th. I have my last nut appt May 1st. They went ahead and scheduled mine because I have some work schedule issues. I start my pre-op diet May 21st. I am excited to get the weight loss started. I also have a bmi of 35 so for six months I had to stay the same.
