Who's playing the waiting game with me?



Recommended Posts

So, I'm approved and all my pre testing evals are done. Now I'm just waiting on the final appointment with the surgeon and a surgery date. From what I understand it could be another two weeks. Fun times.

My waiting game is the next four weeks until surgery. Hopefully, it will go as fast as the last 6 months has. Good luck to both of you!

I waited FOUR long weeks for insurance approval...had myself convinced I was being denied. Finally approved after several calls from my coordinator to Aetna, surgery on 7/22.....trying to keep myself busy and not think about it constantly. Easier said than done. Good luck!

My waiting game is over 2 months until surgery. Patience is not one of my virtues.

I'm kinda on the fast track though since I'm self pay, no waiting on insurance to go through and no hoops to jump through. It took us 5years to save up for this and it feels so close and so far away at the same time.

Best of luck to everyone!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
