Just called my insurance company and they said they have NO file open for me with the new surgeon. lol. This, despite the fact that Dr. Bautista's insurance coordinator told me she's been in touch with them and sent them requested information.

So, who's telling the truth? Who's confused?

Well, I am for one. Confused and frustrated and tired of this whole process.

I am sorry to hear that. All I can say is when she told me she was submitting mine...she did. Maybe it takes a few days for your insurance company to have information on it.

That's just around the corner! Congrats! :)

Definitely the insurance company that's been messing up. They, for some reason, were putting the new information from the new surgeon into the old, denied, closed file. I don't know why, no one seems to know why. So, the insurance coordinator at my surgeon's office had to call them yesterday to open ANOTHER new file/request.

I swear. I feel like they're doing all this just so I'll get frustrated and give up!

So this past weekend my husband and I went to an event in Carlisle Pennsylvania. It was at a fairground. A HUGE one! I walked from one end to the other for 3 days. :( I drank lotsa Water and fluids, I ate half the portions of food I usually do because I wasn't hungry. And yet, I get on the scale....and still at 300. W.T.F?!?!?!

I am so frustrated I wanna cry!

I'm sorry. I know that's frustrating. :(

So, I called my insurance company and my file is in nurse review again. lol. this is nutso! I keep calling everyday because last time the coordinator sent them information they combined it into the denied file. I'm not letting that happen again! Hoping for an answer in the next couple days.

Finally approved! I've been on Cigna like white on rice. Called this morning and it was still pending, decided to call again this afternoon since this is the 5th business day. It's approved! But, she said that the surgery window is small (10/11-10/12) and that will have to be amended. But, at least I'm approved!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
