Waiting for insurance approval



Recommended Posts

I had my psych evaluation and nutrition appointment today. Now, my doctor's office will submit the revision request to my insurance. I'm hoping because my band has siipped twice that insurance will approve quickly. I could be sleeved as early as August (as long as there is not much damage after he takes the band out). I'm worried because I didn't do will with the band that I wont do well with the sleeve. It was nice to hear the psychologist say that I wasn't a faliure with the band, that the band failed to work for me. I keep thinking that maybe if I didn't throw up as often as I did that the band wouldn't have slipped. I was throwing up because the food (protien) wouldn't go down. I can't wait to be able to eat healthy foods without the fear of them coming back up.

I am also waiting on insurance approval. It came pretty quickly for my band approval. I wonder how it will go for the revision.

How is your process going?

I just called my insurance yesterday and they had no record of a revision request from my doctor. The doctors office said they would send the request again (thanks for letting them know). So now, the approval that I thought would only take a week, will be even longer. With my band (same insurance) approval took 1 month. I'm wondering I will have to wait that long for revision approval? How long did anyone elses approval take?

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
