Hi, I am a newbie her to the forum. I was on approve on October 7th to have surgery.. My date is November the 7th.. Whoooohoooo.. Well not really.. The submitted my paper work for the bypass.. I soooo don't wanna that procedure.. I will meet with the surgeon on Monday and they will resubmit my claim... Good news you might say.. Well again, not really my insurance is in negotiating with the hospital.. Basically if the cannot come to an agreement by December insurance will not cover the procedure after Dec 9th..SUCKS RIGHT!! I know.. The forum has been so helpful and motivational.. Do you think I should go ahead with the bypass since it has already been approve or take my chances and wait to see if I get the quick approval for the sleeve? I was gonna call my coordinator and commit to the bypass, but I changed my mind.. Please help.. Send some encouragement my way... By the way I have BCBS federal..????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????. Oh I forgot to add my surgeon is booked the entire month of Nov.. Some one cancelled that's how I got my date.. Help help..

I have BCBS n I was approved less than 24 hrs...so for the most part the requirements are the same or at least almost...if they resubmit you on Monday you should have an answer soon...how long did it take to get the 1st approval?

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
