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??

The 9th seems pretty popular... Lol!

My first dr visit was March 18th and my surgery is scheduled for June 9th. My surgeon requires 3 visits 1 month apart with him, 2 NUT appointments, a psych eval, clearance from a pulmonologist and cardiologist. I'm not sure how many of those are insurance requirements versus his requirements but so far it's been a smooth process. The insurance originally balked at paying the NUT appointments but we appealed and they paid.

My insurance is reviewing my file finally. I never thought I would get to this point. They say it will take 30 days but I really hope it doesn't take that long :/ I was really hopeing for June 9th or June 16th date but I am not sure thats going to happen if they take the full 30 days.

My date is set for June 16th....woohoo!!!!!

I'm June 16th too!! Hi surgery twin

Mimi I would check with my insurance every week to see if I was approved.

My insurance is also reviewing my file Mimi! I am stressed that they will not approve me, but I am still excited to have gotten this far.

I see many people are scheduled for June 9th! I am set for June 10th- 5 weeks to go till I start my journey.

I called UHC everyday to check the status of my case. They didn't care, the reps told me to call me as much as I needed.

I started thinking about this in December. I went to a seminar the 11 February . Git an appoint with surgeon February 25, again March 24 and April 24. In between all thise

Keep checking with insurance. I was calling everyday!

Oops I sent it before I was done.

Ok in between all those appointments I saw a psych doctor for two hrs with a 100+ questioner, Nutx3 along with his nurse practitioner . She gave me a card that I can give restaurant people to allow me half portions or order from kids menus .

On April 25 I got a date and the following Friday I got insurance approval. I was so happy to hear that. I have a Fitbit and I watch my steps. I would like to lose 10 more lbs before June 9th.

Scared, excited, looking at recipes , blogs and Pinterest to get ideas so I won't bored with eating!

I plan on calling my insurance at least once a week and I am pretty sure they are already tired of hearing from me because I have called them soooo many times in the last 7 months. They are a labor union thru my husband's work so I have nooo idea what to expect with them. I call and ask a million questions just to make sure I have done everything thats required. I am also super nervous they are going to deny me. I have been working on this since early November.
