Insurance called to tell me I was approved!



Recommended Posts

Has this happened to anyone else? My insurance company called to tell me that my surgery was approved for October 30th! Which is awesome, however I haven't heard from my surgeon yet to even let me know of the surgery date!

Of course now that I have been approved I am starting to freak out thinking about the what if's and being a mom of two young kids. Please calm me down, I'm in my 30's and and pretty healthy just heavy!

Such an exciting phone call! Don't get caught in the "what ifs". Hopefully you have done all of your research so you know the things to do. The hard part is making the decision, so that's done. Now, just focus on your future in your new life. You are going to LOVE it!

Thanks ladies! Hopefully I hear back from my surgeon next week! I know this is the best thing for me. Just nervous because it's actually happening now. I honestly cannot wait to be able to run around with my toddlers and actually keep up with them!

Congrats! Don't let the doubts start creeping in now. From my own perspective at 10 weeks out, definitely the best thing ever! Good luck!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
