OK, Now I'm EXCITED!



Recommended Posts

My surgeon's office submitted my paperwork on Wednesday (2 months early) to see if I could get approved. I have completed all my pre-op requirements for insurance, except I am supposed to have 6 months of supervised diet visits with the doctor, and I only have 4.

My surgeon's office just called me and said I GOT APPROVED!!!!

Now I want to jump up and down and scream H A L L E L U J A H!!! I already had a tentative date for December 16th, but they are going to call me on Monday to confirm a solid date, and maybe even be able to get me in for surgery sooner!

OMG!!!! It's really going to happen!!!!!! :D :) :D :) :D

Congratulations!!! I'm excited for you and now am getting a lil anxious. Did you ask the nurse to submit your paperwork early? I want to try to do the same thing. I'm doing 3 months but as of next week will be only 1 month. I've completed all the ins requirements. I guess it won't hurt to try. What ins do u have?

@Ladiec2 I have United Healthcare Community of Maryland. At my 4 month visit (insurance required 6) I had all of my pre-op requirements for both the insurance company and my doctor completed except for the last 2 months of supervised diet visits. During that appointment my doctor mentioned how stupid it was they everything was done and the only thing I had left was to come visit her 2 more times. She said we should submit it early and see what happened. She and I both felt it would more than likely be denied, but what the heck was it going to hurt to give it a shot. So we did! And lo and behold, less than 48 hours after they submitted my paperwork, I got approved, 2 months early!

Nothing beats a failure but a try!

@GreenEyes604. I hear you girl. When I was given my surgery date I simply began living in the future! July 18th was just etched in my subconscious. I acted normal on the outside, or I would like to believe I did, but I became consumed with my upcoming surgery, and of course all the emotions that came with it. I wish you all the very best.

Congratulations!!! I would love for my surgeon's office to submit my paperwork next week. I just may ask! I was only required 3 months and I could still keep my last appointment but if he submits it next week I just might be able to have my surgery before the year is out!! After I do my ultrasound Monday and my psych eval (maybe Monday, they are walk-in) in do e with all but the last nutrition appt.

Pray all goes well with your surgery! Congrats again!!!

      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.
