Waiting On Approval For Nothing!



Recommended Posts

Called insurance to check on my status and it haven't been submitted! Called the coordinator she just told me the surgeon QUIT!! I blame myself because he quit when he was in Virginia but I was giving him the benefit of the doubt! Then I tell my sister who says well u can lose weight on your own!! I'm so angry!

UGH....was he the only surgeon in the practice? I'd be calling another bariatric center. Don't give up! Call your insurance company and find another bariatric surgeon in-network near you.

And don't get too upset with your sister.....she doesn't get it!!

There is another sugeon but he has bad reviews about his bedside manner and I've talked to several people about him and I just don't want to go down that road. I was gonna change surgeons 2 months ago and I should have then..I just felt something wasn't right! The one that I was gonna change to called me personally a month ago. So now I'm in the process of getting all my records.

Good luck with everything. I had decided to get the surgery and then found out that my insurance does not cover bariatric. I was devistated, but told myself I would find a way, now I am paying out of pocket wich kind of stinks, but my life is worth it to me.

Good luck on things and don't give up.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
