Nerves are getting the best of me.....



Recommended Posts

My nerves are raw.... Still awaiting insurance approval and I have a surgery date of Feb. 9... Supposed to start 2 wk liquid diet in 2 days and have anesthesia consult in a week....I want and need this sooo bad....BCBS is gonna make be crazy yet.

I've been reading a lot of post on here and I'm grateful there is support out there... But I think I'm reading too much..... I can't seem to focus on anything but this surgery now and it's keeping me from sleeping too!!!! Arrrggghhh...

Calgon, TAKE ME AWAY!!!!

In Canada the surgery isn't covered we have to pay the whole shot. Good luck!

I won't be able to fund it without insurance.... So I'm praying they come through for me!

I am in the same boat...waiting for insurance approval. I won't receive a surgery date without prior approval from my insurance company. It is so hard to have patience with something so important. I am praying we both hear today!

I can imagine how you feel. I would probably be feeling the same way. I'm praying that all goes well while you're waiting (can be nerve wrecking). But just try to stay positive and if you can try to distract yourself as much as you can. Wishing you the BEST!!!!!

Oh, I have a battle ahead of me too!! I'm currently waiting for the doctor's office to get off their butts and submit to my insurance for approval.... then, after they do that, I'll have to wait in aggony again for the approval! At least your just waiting on the insurance co. Have you called them to find out the status? I have BCBS Fed and they are really good!!

It only took me 4-5 days to hear from my insurance. I have BCBS in IL and my paper work was submitted on a Monday and Friday afternoon, I called BCBS and they told me they just approved it :) I would call if I were you!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
