waiting for my insurance approval...



Recommended Posts

since I decided to the the surgery the whole process has gone quite quickly, that is until this week. I have completed all the requirements and just waiting to here back from insurance. the nurse at my surgeon office said in her experience that it should only take a week and my insurance hasn't denied anyone since she done the submitting. yet I'm still so nervous. I can't stop thinking about getting that phone call!

so I just got a phone call from my insurance company saying that my request for inpatient hospital services was approved. it was an automated service so I dnt know if that's my surgery or not. I dnt know if I should call my insurance company or should I call my surgeons office to figure out what that meant. I don't want to seem like I'm bugging them but I'm freaking out wanting to know lol

When I got my approval letters I got 2 separate ones, one was stating the approval for the gastric sleeve itself , the other was the approval letter for the impatient hospital stay! But u must have been approved , because what else would the hospital stay be for! Good luck! I hope your date is soon!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
