I'm scheduled for RYN on October 2nd. I start my two week pre-op diet this Thursday. Would love some October buddies.

Hello I'm in Fuquay just south of Raleigh. I've started the process. Looks like I will have the majority of my presurgery testing done within the month. If all goes well surgery will be scheduled for the beginning of October!

R u doing gastric or sleeve?...and does ur insurance have a 6month wait?

I'm going gastric bypass. Insurance covers without doc supervised 6 month diet, thankfully. Saw that yours requires it. Ugh I'm so sorry.

Wow im happy for u that u already have a date!...i betcha ur excited????

Extremely! My date is tentative though. My husband and I are both having it done so we are trying to work out logistics.

Ya sucks for me????..at my 2nd visit my dr submitted the pre auth and after 2 weeks my auth was denied for "contract exclusion"...when i called my insurance they said its that 6 month thingy...i have sleep apnea and DT2...this waiting is killing me..,i tried to get it out of my mind but i cant help it but to be more stress about it...sigh????

Oh wow u and ur hubby huh!...thats really awesome!...good for yall!

Stay positive! I know it sounds like the pot calling the kettle black type thing but you can do this. If you're OCD like I am you can use this time to plan. I've been researching types of food, clear liquids, etc etc we can eat or will be eating. I've also been using this time to continue to research and read everything I can. We have been debating this for a year and have just made the decision about 3 months ago.

Ya im trying to be positive...we r also looking for a house and this waiting thingy made things easier for me and faster cuz im more pre occupied with house hunting....lol as a matter of fact i havent been here in this blog for a long time cuz i didnt wanna remind my self of the "waiting game" but since u replied to the link where i posted, i got an email notification and got excited knowing that someone near me is also doing it!...

So if ur insurance does not require the 6months, y wait for october?...u should be able to do all other requirements in a month? And gitt-err-dunn!????
