Hi. Anyone from NYC

Thanks.. Yeah when I went to the seminal Dr. Merola said that most insurance now wants us to do six months..

Two questions.. How long after you finish all what they require were you approved? Did the 1199 gave u a hard time? How was ur process with them when u did it?

Ok Once I did everything and the paper work was submitted by the hospital i was approved about a week later. Once I had the approval they were going to do the surgery two weeks after since they had an opening but I held off for a month later in order to prepare myself and properly do the 2 week preop diet. The only hard time I got from 1199 was that my doctor kept me out for the entire allowed time of 6 weeks due to fatigue. They only wanted to accept 3 weeks but it was resolved quickly once the surgeon spoke to them. That same day they approved my 6 weeks for my short term disability. Aside from that I didn't have any issues with them considering i work for 1199 but when it comes to disability they're very strict and require documents. There was no favors considering I work here .

We live so close! How are you doing so far? I am ok. Still trying to find foods I like. Nothing seems appealing to me.

When was your surgery? Do you cook? I did all my own cooking for the first 9 months after surgery to ensure my success.

I am over three years post op. I had the SADI with Dr. Roslin ! I went from 268 to 115/120. How far out are you?

Im doing well. I also go to the gym 3 to 4 times a week . This has nothing to do with maintaining my weight. I have MS so i make sure i go to mainly build strength in my legs and tone my body

I stick with the food I no I like . I enjoy meat, pork, and fish. I don't like turkey or chicken anymore. I am over three years post op. I like the fatty meats. My stomach likes it better.

Brooklyn here waiting, surgery date 10/30
