Went to the dr. today for 4 month check up, Him and the nut both were please with weight loss says revision surgery weight comes off slower.

But still have pain in my lower right groin/side area
OB/GYN did ultra sound showed nothing not even the right ovary which I know is there
Had a ct showed nothing in that area
Colonoscopy is next on Nov 14 if that does not show anything
it will be an exploratory lap.
with both the ob/gyn and surgeon working on it.

But I am so happy I have on 90 more lbs to go So I am doing the happy dance

I had to do 6 months of supervise weight loss and the psych eval ect. and then I was good to go. The psych eval was fine, the guy I saw just asked a bunch of questions he knew the answers to but wanted to know if I knew as far as what the surgery consists of how I will be able to eat after, how is my family realtionships. it was no biggie.

I believe that is for the surgery, anesthesia and follow up (blood tests etc.) itself not for the actual hospital stay double check with your insurance for sure but I think that is the case

My docs charge 25000 for rny surgery by itself.
Then the anesthesia and hospital are seperate

Hi..
  I also have / had  UMR Insurance. I had a BMI of 42 and no other co-mordidites other then swollen ankles after a 12 hour shift and high colesterol. After the required 3 months of supervised Dieticians appts., psych exam and my visit with Dr. Chua they approved me in 72 hours and I had surgery 11 days later. Good Luck. I hope it goes as smoothly for you.
