Where are you guys

I am so frustrated right now! I had my last NUT on 11-19 and I am still waiting for approval...my insurance says they are waiting for the paperwork and my surgeon say they have received it and confirmed they received it...I was promised that I would have surgery this month and it is not looking so good...I am disappointed with Anthem

I have completed all of the steps except the Psychological Evaluation. I need to save up the money for it since my insurance (Medicaid) wont cover it. Once I have that done and all submitted to the insurance company it should be no longer then 2 weeks. Its just coming up with the funds for the eval.. So im hoping mid to late January for mine

Hello all! I am still trying to figure out how this site works. I had my last 6 month required class on Friday. I am scheduled for surgery on 12/28 if everything is approved.

I am starting to practice the pre op liquid diet...just to see how bad it is!

Best of luck to us all!

I'm scheduled for Dec 15 (currently in the pre-op liquid phase). Best of luck.

I am right there with you. I'm scheduled for this Thursday, 12/10.

I can't even get excited or nervous about it because I still don't have insurance approval. Insurance has everything they need but I don't have an answer. Here's hoping that tomorrow brings good news to all of us still waiting for approval. ????????

I had my surgery on 12/4, I am feeling great! I was walking the halls at the hospital by Friday night and made several rounds on 12/5 before I got released. I haven't had any gas to speak of, just a few burps here and there. I managed a few sips of broth from trays they brought me, but not a lot. The chicken broth made me kind of nauseous but the beef broth was fine.

Good luck to you guys that haven't gone yet and hope everyone who has is recovering nicely. I am off to sip some water with lemon aid crystal light!!

@lauriev....gud luck! My surgery was Friday also, I had a lot of gas but da meds & plus da walking got rid of dat. But otherwise I'm doin great!

I'm scheduled for Dec 16 & getting really excited and nervous. Have been on pre-op liquids almost a week. My process has been really quick so far but I'm not using insurance as mine doesn't pay for any type of bariatric surgery. My initial consult was early November and I was only required to do nutrition counseling over the phone, and my pre-op appt and testing this coming Wednesday. I'm ready!!
