To those of you that have already gotten approved for surgery, do they submit your starting weight or current weight to insurance?

@@necarv Ya definitely plan for it to be until possibly 4. I was just there 11/29 I was lucky I was in the small portion of people that got to do their physical before the lunch break. I was scheduled for 2:30 but I got in there at about 1:30

@@kc13 Holy moly! That's a long day! I meet with Liz on Wed so that should be enough time for me to ask for a change in schedule. I don't want to use a PTO day since my days are tight because of the holidays.

@@tamirn No sleep study for me. I didn't have any symptoms. 2.5 months from orientation to surgery date. My hubby is going first and he's 2 months on the nose. I'm on the cancel list and could go in any time after 12/6 which would be less than 2 months. Big thing is hitting that goal weight.

As far as I know they don't submit anything to insurance. Kaiser is your insurance. Once your approved that's it. You can call member services to check how much your copay will be

@shaylady08 no liquid diet. Your last meal has to be completed by 6pm day before surgery. They say "no last suppers". If you want an off plan meal I'd suggest doing it now and stick to plan until surgery. You have to be at or below goal or no surgery. That's about it.

Hi CNOEL3!
Such a delight to read this and find out that I have the same Doctor at that location. Love to hear about your journey and how you are doing. I'm at the beginning of mine. :)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
