PreOps Check In!

I am approved by my ins. co. I did all my pre-op tests last week: group nutrition class, individual nutrition consult, lab work, chest x-ray, pulmonary function tes, stress echo, and endoscopy. I have my follow up with the surgeon on Wed. We will go over all the test results and pick a date for surgery. I'm so excited!!! I can't wait!!!

hey everyone! pre-op here. i have my last behavioral appointment on wednesday. i was supposed to drop 5 lbs in the past 3 weeks. i havent dropped a pound. and ive been really trying! i think my problem is salt. i love salt. i have been trying to be more conscious about it but im noticing ive been putting salt on everything! i also bought a wii fit, i havent tried it yet because my husbands been hoarding it! but im excited to try it tonight. i called my insurance and they sent me a packet about all the things they require. i have bcbs excellus of rochester NY. the only stipulation that im weary about is a 6 month total weight loss attempt. i dont know how i'll prove that, but im hoping i can... i guess after my behavioral appointment they schedule me for my surgeon appointment and then i get a date?!?!?!

APPROVED!!!!  Hello everyone...my surgery is scheduled for Monday March 23rd.  I just got my approval from Aetna this evening.  I am so excited. 

Good luck everyone...see you on the loser's side.
