I finished all my pre op stuff last Thurs. My surgeon's office should be sending in anytime. Now I need to learn patience.

I already called insurance to see if it was submitted. Lol. Nope not yet

My Paperwork was submitted to Aetna today.

Did anyone do anything special to get the approval so fast? I mean come on, they have had it for 2 hours.

The reviewers have 2 weeks to complete the process. Depending on the work load, it could take that long although most are done much quicker. There are a lot of services other than bariatric surgery that require review & anything life-threatening or urgently needed will take precedence over elective procedures. I know, I worked as a nurse reviewer for over 7 years.

My coordinator was on the phone for over an hour with the insurance company getting approval. I have a Cadillac policy being I am a state employee. No special privileges here just had the BMI requirement and the co morbidities that went along with it.

      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! 😞
