Waiting... still waiting...



Recommended Posts

So my paperwork was submitted on 6/20/16 and I'm super nervous that my insurance provider hasn't come through. Plus my insurance provider says it could take up to 30 days. Ugh, I've been so frustrated. Particularly since I've been reading a few of the threads and everyone has been getting approved super fast. I've been calling everyday for updates. But I keep thinking to myself (warning, it about to get spiritual) God wouldn't have put this idea in my head if He didn't think I could be successful.

Patience, Grasshopper. Patience.

And , in my opinion-- (getting spiritual back at ya! :) ), God works in mysterious ways, but always in the RIGHT way.

Let us know WHEN your approval comes through. :)

Just got off the phone with BCBSIL and the tech read my notes and she said it looks like I will be approved. She said they're still working it but I should expect to have it closed and a letter sent out by Wednesday or Thursday. So I'll try back than. SOOO EXCITED

I started in May (mid-May) as well! It's happening much faster than I could have imagined! Currently schedule for July 27 assuming I get approved

Don't stress. It'll happen. My last Dr's visit was the beginning of April. I didn't hear back sayibg i was approved until the Friday before Memorial Day. Due to unforseen circumstances my surgery isn't until August 15th. BUT, it's ok. This will give me time to work on other things such as toning and trimming my body, preparing my household for this new lifestyle change,etc. So take this opportunity to get some things in order before your surgery that may be beneficial to you after your surgery.

Wishing you the best! Be blessed!

I am a newbie, I just got my primary care physician to put my referral in for vgs on June 30th.

So when you say approved are you talking about the approval from your pcp or from the surgeons submission after you get all your test done?

      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!!
