So sorry to hear about this!! You are in my prayers. Just still take it one day at a time. You've come too far to stop now. You can do this and the insurance will be worked out, you have options so don't panic now when there's nothing you can do about it. Just remember what the goal is and keep working towards it because it's not out of reach!! Stay strong!!

Good. Glad to hear that you'll find things out on his end and I pray that you get in sooner. I think I'm going to try to get in sooner with my Psych to get the ball Rollin here.

I would if I were you. That's the only thing I have doubts that I will be able to change because she is always so booked that you have to make the appointment with her a couple months in advance. But I will ask if she gets a cancellation or something

Well I have about one month to go for the 6 month supervised weight loss requirement and today it was announced that 1200 men are being laid off and 8 mines closed 4 of them here in West Virginia where my husband works. WHICH WILL MEAN NO INSURANCE!!! I am so scared and stressed out too come this far and so close

Hopefully all will work itself out. Remaining positive in a time when it seems like it cant get any worse will allow you a peace of mind. I'll send prayers up for you not only for your surgery but also for strength for your family if your husband has to be laid off. Right now you can only control the controllables and everything else will be alright.

Ok update. Just got off the phone with insurance coordinator for surgeon office. There is no way to fast track my appointment this coming Monday the 24th or my psych evaluation on October 3rd. But this is what they are going to do. She is gathering all my information right now and getting it ready to send and she wants me to schedule an October appointment with PCP as my surgeon will be out of town and she can't get me in to see him sooner. So October 4th I will do weigh in with pcp and as soon as he faxes the info and she said to have pysch submit that day or next (she works in same office) she will send for approval so by October 8th she will have it sent. So hopefully my husband's job can last at least a month

I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Went thru something similar. I had done everything and had my surgery date of August 7. One week to go and insurance said they wouldn't cover it unless done at an institute of quality. I was so freaking out. But luckily my surgeons nurse was nice enough to help me find a hospital with that rating. And within a week i had meet the surgeon and had a new date. I had to travel 10 hours away but i did have my surgery last Tuesday 9/11. So don't give up hope yet. Sending prayers.

On sorry for all this..who is psych with? Can u comm communicate with psyche ny email and further explain your situation..Amy was good at confirm king my date when the insurance informed them that my coverage would end in less than a el. I got auto on a wed n Amy called hospital to have me put on schedulethat next Monday. All your logs in? Can your primary doc work with you at all, i do know the 30 days applies in most mines. My little girls dad WaS laid off last Fri from patriot near cabin creek. They have kept coverage for thirty days. keep look in n for any small loophole this is a test. I would also ask for a consult with the insurance by phone where your primary can plead your case..stretch your Faith. Ill pray

My psych evaluation is with Peggy. Yeah Amy said she was getting my information and as soon as Peggy gets her the evaluation and then my pcp is going to get me in on October 4 and that is all needed. Dr shin is out of town that week so can't get an earlier appointment with him. I can only pray they hold off till after then. I told the office if they have any cancellations with Peggy to call me asap!!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
