Just wanted to share, Surgery date Nov. 25th

I am hoping I only have to stay 1 day. I go in this Tuesday for my pre op testing like blood work, EKG and upper GI. Im on my 3 day of liquid diet which has been very hard. 

Good luck with your testing. But sorry to hear your liquid diet has been hard. I'm on day 5 and finding it fine. However if I do get hungry in between meals I will have some broth. Good Luck to you. What day is your surgery?

How EXCITING!  And congratulations on your huge weight loss thus far!  I have just completed my 6 months of doctor/nutritionist visits and psych evaluation for RNY.  Can you tell me, did you have to complete the medical pre-op testing, such as the endoscopy, before the surgeon's office could submit your paperwork to the insurance carrier?  I am just wondering because I haven't done any such testing as of yet. 

I'm not sure but I would guess yes. This is why during my visit with the pre-op nurse she asked me if I had a endoscopy done and I had, I just had to sign a release form so she could get it. They did tell me that they had to have everything ready for the insurance company, however my insurance doesn't pre-approve so I had to sign a paper saying I will pay if they don't. I was told that even though they don't pre-approve the doctors wouldn't even talk to me about surgery unless they thought it would go through. I had four appointments on the same day and just before going into seeing the pre-op nurse I saw another person who did the last of the test ekg, blood, and blood pressure. I did my endoscopy 6 months ago when I had a stress test done. And congratulations to you too  I wish you the best of luck with your journey.

Thats so AWESOME! keep us posted....

I am so happy for you!  I wish you wonderful continuation of your journey.  It's an amazing ride.

Thank you

Don't forget before pictures and measurements so when stalls happen or you don't think you are losing enough.. you can look back and see how far you have come :) 

Thanks I all ready have some but will continue to take more.

Congratulations to you!!  I'm having RNY on Nov. 25th as well!  It's getting close.
