Insurance issues



Recommended Posts

So I stated a new job two months ago and filled out all of my benefit paperwork and turned it in ASAP. I just found out that HR didn't submit the paperwork so I have no insurance! It was supposed to be effective as of April 1st, Now who knows how long I have to wait. I was all set up with all my appointments at the Dr,'s office and now I have to reschedule everything, I just want to get the process started. Ugghh. Once my insurance starts, it is 100% coverage, I have waited over a year to get the right job with the right insurance. I am so mad some stupid paper pusher messed it all up.

Better contact the insurance company and make sure your obesity is not a pre-existing condition. My husband started a new job this last September. I went to the seminar and then called my insurance for benefit verification. Turns out I will be covered in December when the pre-existing condition clause comes off. Now I am stuck having to wait.

Did u have insurance that didn't lapse before ur husband's new job? I ask bc I had the same thing happen but when I called the insurance company they waived that time period bc I had insurance before. They waived it for my husband too bc he had insurance prior to starting his new job. It's worth asking I thing so u don't have to wait so long. Thought I'd share that. :-)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
