I Had To Call The Insurance Company But I Got Approved!



Recommended Posts

So my insurance company was taking too long to send an approval I call my doctors office and they claimed that they were working on it after a week and a half I decided to check up on it myself I call the insurance company I asked to speak to a nurse asked her to verify my file she came back on the phone and approved it

YES YES YES SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO DO THINGS FOR YOURSELF MY DOCTORS OFFICE WAS UPSET BUT I COULD CARE LESS

I HAVE A DEADLINE BEFORE I HAVE TO LEAVE THE U.S. TO TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS AND THEY HAVE A JOB TO DO

;) no offense to anyone but I am happy

I got approved last week and am having my surgery on MONDAY here in Amarillo...This is a redo for me I had a lapband removed in December due to complications. Did not ever imagine they would OK it this time since I am 30 lbs less than when I had the lapband.

But praising God it is getting done.

That's great! I'm happy for you! I went today for medical clearance by my primary care physician...and would u believe I lost 5lbs. I really haven't been sticking to the preop diet. I know its bad but I have been trying! Well I'm anxiously waiting for surgery on the 23rd and I hope and pray it all goes well!

      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! 😞
