First appointments finally scheduled...



Recommended Posts

Went to a seminar at mynewself Bariatrics on March 7th!

Insurance Verifier called on March 11th... no insurance coverage which I already knew! Self pay it is :)

Called to schedule my appointments since I had not heard from anyone... April 10th for Doctor Consult, Dietician, and Psychologist!

Not sure what happens after those appointments but very excited!

My husband and I decided to do this together after I had gone with him to the seminar as his support system. We have done everything together, our appointments, our meetings...everything. The appointments aren't bad at all, the psychologist was interesting but we got through it all in one day and thank goodness that it's done with. I'm not sure what yours will be like since you're in a different state, but as soon as you start getting these appointments behind you, its a relief.

Have they told you if you needed a sleep test? That's something you might want to check on. Our insurance is Anthem Blue Cross and my husband NEEDS to have a sleep test in order to have his surgery. I do not.

Do you have to have any weight management classes?

I have already been diagnosed with sleep Apnea and wear a CPAP machine so I am not sure they will ask for a sleep study again. Since I am self pay, my timeframe should be shortened, but not always, since I do not have to adhere to any insurance requirements.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
