Saw my surgeon today and got my date.

17th Jan. Lapband removal, possible hiatus hernia repair and revision to RNY

Well, I haven't talked to my surgeon's office yet, so it's not official, but I saw my approved pre-auth on my insurance portal and it's dated for 1/17/19 so I think I have a date!

Should be starting my pre-op diet right after New Year's if I'm right. Which is nice, I won't be on the diet over my birthday lol.

Well then we will be twins.

Talked with my insurance and they said I was approved with a scheduled surgery date of January 2, 2019. I chuckled a little bit when the insurance told me that. Because my final decision appointment is January 3rd with the surgeon and nutritionist.

Can you get that appointment moved up any? Otherwise it could. be a Very Interesting start to 2019.

Frust8. There is not enough time to do the preop diet. I am hoping to push it off until the end of January

I just talked to my surgeon's office and they told me the pre-auth date is just a placeholder. Maybe yours is too?

(of course mine may be accurate because that's the earliest I can do it since they require payment two weeks in advance and I can't pay until I have next year's FSA)

January 8th here! Start liquid diet Christmas

And just think @Greenbean, since you will be a RnY, you truly will be our French Green bean. Pretty cool!

Lol and I am part French lol
