The Waiting Game - Question



Recommended Posts

I had my last NUT appointment today. The NUT told me that the ins coordinator would start gathering all of my clearances and putting my package together to submit to insurance.

How long did that take for you? I ask because my insurance coordinator has been kind of crappy, and I've been trying to give her the benefit of the doubt, but I'm really concerned that she is going to make this already ridiculous waiting period even longer. I wonder how long I should wait for her to submit my package before I start harassing.

I'm not sure what insurance you have but I'd say give her 10 business days. If you haven't heard anything by then give her a call to see what the status is.

10 business days to submit the paperwork? Good lord....

I know 10 days seems like and eternity after all of the appointments we have during this process but, be thankful that your insurance doesn't require more. Based on your signature it's been roughly 2 months for you?

I will give insurance all the time they need. But, to give my insurance coordinator at my surgeons office 10 days before she even submits the paperwork for approval, that seems extreme. I guess I will wait and see.

      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! 😞
