I am in Central NJ.....waiting on insurance. Sooooooo frustrating. Submitted 5/17, called my insurance company this morning and they JUST got the clinicals over the weekend. Up to now I have loved my surgeon and his staff but what the hell were they waiting for to submit the clincals? Talk about STRESS!!!

It is frustrating!! My dr waited 2 weeks before submitting to insurance, I did however receive my acceptance letter within days. I hope you will get an answer sometime this week! I understand how frustrating it can be. What dr are you seeing? I am seeing Dr. Nihalani in Edison NJ.

I used to go to college in Del! Good luck with your sleeve tomorrow.

The thing that makes me mad is that I know it was submitted on May 17th, I have a reference number and the insurance company confirms it was submitted on May 17th...so why submit without the "clinicals"....GRRRR!!! My doctor is Dr. Feteiha in Springfield.

YES!!! I have a dr appointment on Wednesday as well, although I may have to change it. I live an hr away from his office so at times it is hard to miss work and get up there in time, specially when his appointments are only tues/wed.

The waiting game sucks!! For me time was going by fast, but ever since I got my acceptance letter time just seems to be dragging on.

I think I am going to try and sneak out of work. The lady who answered the phone said, we will schedule my surgery date, and schedule a preop class. So hopefully you will get the same!! Maybe we will go to the same class.

      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.
