I Think I Have A Date!?!



Recommended Posts

His morning I called Indiana Medicaid to check the status of my claim for approval. I was told that they have approved the room Jan 14-18, so I guess that's my date? The insurance specialist is gone until Monday at the surgeons office, so I can not check with her (ugh!) I am assuming that Medicaid will not approve a room if they aren't going to approve the actual procedure.. Right?

Have you heard anything from your insurance yet? I hope everything is approved.

I'm still waiting, my tentative date is January 16th. I called the insurance on the 19th and was told I was approved. The surgeon hadn't received the authorization yet so I called again yesterday and was told she made an error and that my request for authorization was submitted for review on the 19th. I had a really bummed out day yesterday. I hope everything goes smoothly for you and all is approved.

I moved to Kansas from Hawaii to take care of my mom and dad who are in poor health. It took some getting use to but I'm 75 miles north of Tulsa and a little over 2 hours south of Kansas City...I do have days where I want to run and keep on running, lol

I hope we both hear something positive today. Here's keeping my fingers crossed for both of us.

It sounds like we may have the same people working on our case... I called my insurance company and they said if I don't hear from them then call the surgeons office. Pray tell how the surgeons office will know something when the insurance company doesn't.

It's hard trying to sit tight n wait on them especially after being told I was approved then told they had it wrong. Just gotta try and think positive thoughts but the negative ones are lurking around the corner. Lol

      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... :(
