Waiting



Recommended Posts

My request for surgery was sent to my insurance company today. I'm so nervous they're going to reject it. I don't know why I'm nervous because everything is in order, but I still have this impending feeling of doom. I really want the surgery so badly.

I'm planning a cruise in October and I am hoping that my timing is good. I have Humana insurance and I was wondering if anyone else had experiences with them. I have Humana POS. it's a Medicare advantage program.

I am in this all alone. I need the support of people like me who are going through the surgery. For now, I wait

You got this and you're not alone. You have support here. I have felt oppression from close family and friends in this process but I keep on keeping on. Good luck with the approval! Pray about it and it will all work out!

I also have Humana POS, but I still have a few hoops to jump through before they submit to insurance. How long have you been working on this, also curious what state. I am in Georgia. I will be watching to see what happens with you now. LOL.

I have not been at this process long. I started on June 17th and have been through a barrage of tests, gotten letters from my PCP, cardiologist and shrink, and generally got stamped OK by my surgeon today. She put the paperwork into my insurance company today.

I am in Houston, Texas. According to my insurance company a six month period with the nutritionist is not required. My PCP wrote a letter stating that I tried many diets with him. Humana told me that this is all that I need.

I don't know how long I will have to wait for them to review and approve or deny. I don't have much faith in insurance companies although so far mine has been very helpful. They actually have a private number for bariatrics and assign a person to you!

I will let everyone know how long this takes and what the end result is.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      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!!
