Waiting on surgery date



Recommended Posts

Well I got my approval today, UHC took a little less than a week, got the news today. I am really excited but I am really kind of freaking right now, just waiting on the surgery date, I have to have my $250.00 program fees paid before I can get a surgery date, that will be done Friday, then they will call me with a date, and the blood work appointment and schedule the EGD. Now I am getting scared. Any advice would be appreciated. I have already taken several deep breaths, lol.

Yeah, I had a net gain during my 3 month NUT visits. My husband had a heart attack and triple bypass at age 37. So not to make excuses, but I had a lot going on and gained 4 pounds over where I started. Ugh. But I'm appealing in hopes they have a heart and will see I'm more focused and ready for this now more than ever. :)

I am excited for you! I just did my last appointment at KC Bariactric yesterday. They are going to submit my stuff to UHC and as soon as they approve it I will get my three appointments too! I am so stinking excited I have a hard time going to sleep and a hard time concentrating at work during the day!! Who knows maybe we will be about the same time getting our surgeries.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
