Mrs. Goodridge

7 days out still on clear liquids for another week, but i got this...lol! Im down 15 lbs since surgery, no pain, no gas, no vomiting....feeling very normal just a bit drained but that will pass. Im so committed to this new life......stay strong ladies and sip sip!!!

I agree, they will go ahead and give you an attentive date, just for insurance purposes. My first date was the 20th, ive known my date since march, just got approved today and they pushed my date up to the 17th. on day approval. They scheduled mines before approval and my surgery was approved 1 day before surgery

Thank you, thank you, thank you....I don't know how to act right now, but when the office calls, ima act all mellow.....lol...but we know the truth !!!!! Congratulations!!!!!

haven't received a call from my surgeons office yet....but went online and it said APPROVED....june 17 baby!!!! Yesss!!!!!!!!!! Im so freaking happy it not even funny right now!!!!!! 6 months of dedication paid off!!!!!

my name is Jennifer Goodridge....i can see Jennifer being a common name but not Goodridge. i went online to my insurance portal and they filed a claim for me to have this procedure in march.....i saw my doctor for the first im in February...and no test were done....so how could they have a diagnosis for me. i couldn't be more pleased to have gotten this correct. bow i wont be as upset when they ask me those repetitive questions anymore

exactly. but sometime these health care " professionals" try to push the patient put of the picture. they get upset when you continue to call and ask questions....not me! this goes to to show that everyone makes mistakes....but im not going to let someone's mistake mess up my life!!!!

No I live in Jacksonville Fl, im having it at the university of Florida. Yes me and my husband both are happy to be keeping my cervix...lol. Thanks doll

Thank you Lisa...and I sure will keep everyone posted...this is normally something that you see In a movie or something in the news paper...never first hand experience. im still grasping the importane of what just happened....but thank you for the support @@lisacaron !!!

Yesterday was the last day of my 6 month weight in. I had all my documents ready to send to my surgeons office. So I called my surgery coordinator Caral (who I must say is a doll) and told her I was on my way with my paperwork, she said it was no problem and she couldn't wait to see me (we know each other from meetings and other appointments). So as I head out, I get another call from her office, I answer and she says she needs to connect me to Michelle (she's the one who schedules the surgery) Michelle says to me "Hi Mrs. Goodridge, are you planning on having weight loss surgery on the 20th" I reply with a yes and explained to her that I have documents stating that this was my date. She the reply's that im not on the weight loss roster, which is confusing because I've done everything asked. She states that the surgery on the 20th was for my cervix to be removed....I gasped...my cervix? how, why...what!!!!! Ive never had a problem with my cervix, my WHOLE reason for coming to this hospital was ENTIRLY to have my bypass...where did the removal of my cervix come into play!!! She then puts me on hold. After about 5 minutes the director of the hospital gets on the line in the most apologetics voice and explains that something went wrong with my paperwork. Although I've done everything for This surgery, somehow I was put in a case of outpatients instead of inpatient bypass. My point is this ....I would have walked in there on the 20th, went under the knife and woke up to find that my cervix was wrongfully removed!!!!! Thank God I kept calling, Thank God I kept asking questions....things just didn't seem right. As of right now im scheduled for the 17th of june instead of the 20th....I will be having my surgery with the university of Florida. If you feel that something is wrong, ASK QUESTIONS...this is YOUR body, DONT BE AFRAID.....asking questions literally saved me from having the WRONG SURGERY
