Does anyone know if Dr Toby Broussard accepts United Healthcare? I was going to cash pay but now I have medical insurance so I'm thinking of going that route if I don't have a long wait.......

I'm sorry I can't answer your question. Hopefully, someone else can :)

I have my last appt with my NUT on may 2nd. At that point everything *should* be ready to submit to insurance. They are thinking last week of may or first week of June for me. I am having surgery in Norman w/ Dr. Ronnie Keith.

I have finished all my pre-op testing, except for the endoscopy and they are thinking a July surgery. They can't submit for insurance approval until after my July 2nd appointment, so fingers crossed until then :)

My last NUT appt is end of June. I haven't heard anything about an endoscopy or sleep test. My insurance doesn't require them. So hopefully I will have surgery in July!

Lucky you, KenneKat...no sleep test. I hated that thing. I don't sleep well to begin with, but I slept worse than usual during that thing...of course I don't know how they expect anyone to sleep well during it, with all the wires hooked up to 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! 😞
