@@Dee_RNY and @@Summerrain thank you! I was crying tears of joy! I called my husbands cell phone, he's at work and didn't answer so I called the office phone to speak to him to tell him first before I tell the BP forums:) our 17 year anniversary is September 6 so we're having a double celebration!!! :)

I received a call today 8/26/14 informing that my VSG procedure was approved on Friday 8/22/14!! the insurance rep also stated that I have approval for the RNY too!!!

Congrats on your approval and upcoming surgery. I am still waiting and becoming more anxious as the days go by. I am looking to revise from Lapband to RNY.

Nurse called today. She is working on my chart. She had everything she needs to submit to the insurance company except my last nutrition appt. After the appt on Sept 13. She will submit to insurance and she says with my insurance they usual approve it within one day. That made me feel better! Upward and onward....or is that downward?

Im hoping for a November/December date. I have my 4th month nut appt tomorrow...getting excited. I dont have to lose any weight just the 2wk liquid diet before the surgery. I guess I shouldnt say "just"cause the 2wk liquid diet will be tough. I feel like I should lose weight before surgery and exercise to help be in better shape for surgery. Good luck everyone in your journey.

Well here I am typing a reply that things are moving along when I get a call that my sleep study tomorrow is rescheduled cause insurance hasn't precertified yet. At least the two heart tests are scheduled and certified for Fri and next Monday. After that its just the sleep study results to wait for....still hoping for late October but we'll see...

***update...now insurance has denied in lab sleep study and I have to have a home study. And....have to wait for Oct 8.....sighs....

I don't have to do an endoscopy, but do have to get a gall bladder ultrasound. Anyone else?
