So frustrated! Not covered 100%



Recommended Posts

I started this whole thing last May started my 6 months of visits and of course I didn't know how strict it was and my first one was in June then the doctor called to change it back a week which made it July 2nd so now July was my month one not June. Then about Nov my husband found out his company is changing insurance Jan 1st we panicked trying to get it all done before the year ended since we had already met my deductible but of course test results took forever so we could even apply to insurance so of course it was after jan before my advocate could submit. Now our insurance is way more expensive for worse coverage. I got approved but talked to financial last week and my part is over $2000 due the day of surgery! Once again panic mode I wish I had been told that on the front end!!! Still having the surgery March 18th but having to use our whole tax return plus clean out our savings!! So angry!

Wow, so sorry about your insurance issues but glad you found a way to make it happen!!! When they told me I had out of pocket expenses, I was convinced I would have to come up with $10,000 lol. Good luck with your journey- you are 2 days after me!!! Keep us updated !!

I never have a problem meeting my deductible early in the year being a type 1 diabetic lol !! So that's already done !! My doctor doesn't require a liquid diet, just high Protein, low carb and Clear Liquids the day before surgery. At least that's what the booklet he gave me says, I'm sure I will find out more tomorrow at the pre-op with him and the nutritionist.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
