Waiting for insurance



Recommended Posts

I'm waiting on the insurance company to say yes for my surgery. I'm Staying positive.

I have Meritain insurance and they have you jumping through hoops so I'm just praying that everything is going to be OK.

I'm going through the bridges center in Tempe Az. and they told me you're probably be about 10 days before I would hear anything. Then I talked to my insurance company and they said that it had been turned into the 28th so it could be anywhere from 15 to 30 days to hear something.

I just hope I hear something soon because I'll have to pay another deductible in July. Wish me luck.

I'm starting to feel as though if the insurance company was going to approve the surgery I would have heard something by now.

Still don't know anything yet. Hopefully, it'll all be settled by Tuesday. I can't imagine they are working on Memorial Day.

Waiting for my insurance to approve me, I have uhc choice plus, how long does it take to hear back. Does having sleep apnea, hbp, high chlorestoral, spinal stenosis, diabeties and a body mass of 60 make them decide any faster. Can't stand the waiting. :( have completed every thing they require except for 6 month nutrition class only did 2 and my doctor thinks my paperwork should go ahead and be submitted.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
