Waiting on insurance approval....................



Recommended Posts

Let me clarify. In the beginning, it was very disappointing to know that I had to do a 6 mo supervised diet. I was ready at that moment for surgery to solve all of my problems. On my first visit to my doctor, I told her that I did not want to waist my time. I wanted to be serious about losing weight and make good use of this time. That is what I did. I learned a lot about myself. I got applause from my pcp and nutritionist about the changes that I have already made in my diet. Sooooo, hindsight sees more clearly. I am glad I went through the 6 months. I can definitely say that I have gotten wiser!

Yes, I agree, the time has been well spent. I've done a lot more homework about the sleeve and the changes that I need to make than I would have if I would've been approved right away. I'm just soooo ready now to have the surgery that I'll be really disappointed if they deny. Good luck to you with both of your surgeries!rolleyes.gif

At least you know your insurance will cover it. Mine took it out of the contract...

I got a call from my doctor's office today telling me I'm approved!!! Woohoo! They just submitted it last Friday. I didn't expect it to happen that fast. So I have my date which is September 12th. Can't wait to join all the losers!

I'm waiting too! Mine was just submitted Friday, but I think I'm going to call the insurance company tomorrow to check status. Too anxious!

      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! 😞
