I have my 3rd visit tomorrow and I don't know what to expect. I contacted my insurance company today and they said that I should be approved as soon as my dr. submits paperwork. I'm curious as to what now? Does anyone know?

I underwent a RNY about 15 months ago. After I received approval by my insurance company for the operation, I underwent the first pre-op medical exams to determine if I had any unknown preexisting medical problems. Then I went through a day of classes to prepare me for surgery and post surgery. I had a few preexisting medical conditions, so a second round of medical tests were scheduled with specialists in order to flush out the extent of these problems. After this the surgery date was set. I underwent a pre-op diet and then the operation.

I would recommend that you make sure that you get your walking exercise in every day prior to surgery. It will make the recovery process easier.

Thank you I'm just extremely nervous. It took me three years if doing research and trying to lose weight the "normal" way. I'm soooo excited about the prospect of a newer healthier me. Can't wait until tomorrow. Ill keep you guys posted because I'm gonna need support.
