Feeling Sooooo Discouraged ;(



Recommended Posts

I had my last pre-op visit with my surgeon on July 15th and I was informed that everything would be submitted to my insurance company that day. However,I have been calling my insurance company and as of this morning they don't have anything submitted nor pending from my surgeon office.This afternoon the surgeon's office called me and said they were getting ready to submit to the insurance but their were some red flags that may possibly (strong chance) result in me being denied because my A1C is 13.7 and that's pretty high...so I will have to bring it down before they will approve me. I'm praying that I don't have to start this process over again. I feel so discouraged????????????. Has anyone ever experienced being denied because of a high A1C???????

This is more of a reason for you to have this surgery with this high A1c. My husband's was over 12 and he was approved. The surgeon was very cautious the day of surgery and all the numbers and blood sugar had to be just right. I would suggest that you work on the pre-op diet recommended by your surgeon to start lowering that reading. Keep the faith! Even if you are denied you can get it down and then resubmit everything. My husband's A1c has dropped seriously since surgery. Bless you!

Thanks you so much for the encouragement I appreciate it greatly. I was thinking the same thing that is more of a reason to have the surgery. I will take your advice with the pre-op diet and I will just be patient and keep the faith hoping for the best. Thanks again ☺

Good luck! My husband weighed 320 lbs and has lost 100 lbs. Your weight is not that high. The doctor's offices I feel, sometimes want you to know there is a possibility you won't qualify, when in fact there might not even be a problem. Keep us posted.

      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.
