My surgeon's office is strict about not sending a packet off for insurance until it is complete. I totally understand as it would waste a lot of time back and forth...I was submitted last week and called today to check the status...apparently, I'm on hold because the insurance company had to call to request medical records... really?! I sent three years' worth to the physician's office...and now the hold up is something you have but didn't send?! UGH

I believe everything is done in Gods timeing and will be well worth waiting for. Although I know the waiting game can be stressful. Good luck hope you get your date soon:-)

Nice going!! Glad they finally got their act together for you. Now do you have to do a liquid diet prior to surgery?

It has always amazed me how we think and speak in days and those that control so many things in our lives talk weeks and months. The waiting is the hardest part.

Also very frustrating when we have done everything we can to help these processes along, and those with the power goof up.

Last Friday I called Insurance Gal to see if they had everything (It was supposed to have been a week since it was to be submitted) and she put me on hold, came back and said my chart was still in the drawer, the counselor had not given it to her to submit, so she said she would do it right away. Well here is another week. Trying to be patient.

Keep on them or they will forget about you and your paperwork. Call each day if you have to.

I got a similar letter today saying they needed more information, information I know is in the file. So I too am on hold until I can figure out what they want and probably go and get it myself and hand deliver it to the surgeons office. I thought I had supplied them with everything, somebody along the way has dropped the ball, probably a record was not received or it wasn't worded correctly so the hoops continue, I am so frustrated IF I COULD JUMP THROUGH HOOPS (literally).I would be in better health and wouldn't need the surgery, lol. got to find some humor in this somewhere.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
