As of yesterday, surgeons office couldn't locate my chart/file...today got email from them stating they located my chart. Dr. Dunshee had it and had discussed my case with his partners. We are awaiting dictation, then we will submit to insurance. They''ll let me know next week when they submit it. So here for the past 2 weeks I thought I was waiting to hear from insurance and they haven't even sent it off yet! So...at the rate they're going, it will probably be another 2 weeks or more before I hear anything.....Grrrrrrrr

Frustrating for sure! And rude on their part.

I'm sorry to hear that. My doctor's office manager refused to submit my paperwork. I got the insurance commissioner involved, because she was refusing to cooperate with me.

Good luck & I'm sorry that you have been going through this!!!

Tammy, hang in there, it will happen and it will be worth it. I am on pins and needles waiting for Oct. 17th to come. Wish I didn't have to wait so long but again it will be worth it!

It was the office manager. She was horrible. Thankfully, she's not there anymore!

I know it will happen, its just I need to know what the insurance will pay so I know what we have to pay so we can save it up or get a loan..the point is, I was told by the doctor that it would be submitted within a couple days of my last appt. Which was on the 12th...I was a good girl & didn't bug them....guess I should have though!

Call your insurance company. They can tell you the percentage that will be covered...

How long does it take once the insurance company gets it? I called and they confirmed receipt. I had a lapband that is defective. I have BCBS of IL. They gave me their usual & customary timeframe. Anyone know?

Waiting for approval....

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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.
