Hey everyone. I’m new to the group… I am currently in pre op phase. I have completed all the required tests for insurance. So my surgeons PA and I discussed the procedures that is in my best interest. We decided to submit to insurance for the SADI-S first, and if for whatever reason they deny it. Then we will send in for RNY Gastric Bypass instead. I’m so nervous! I know things are getting closer and I’m excited about it but scared too. Right now it’s just a waiting game for insurance to respond. Then once I get an approval, I’ll meet with my surgeon to discuss what’s next leading to surgery. Oo boy! ??

Welcome to the forums!

Being nervous is completely normal. I'm pretty sure everyone feels this way, but it's an exciting journey at the same time.

Best wishes!

Hello! Congratulations.

I am sure everyone had pre-op jitters. Don't stress, overall it is a pretty uneventful surgery.
