Waiting for insurance



Recommended Posts

I'm waiting on the insurance company to say yes for my surgery. I'm Staying positive.

I have Meritain insurance and they have you jumping through hoops so I'm just praying that everything is going to be OK.

I'm going through the bridges center in Tempe Az. and they told me you're probably be about 10 days before I would hear anything. Then I talked to my insurance company and they said that it had been turned into the 28th so it could be anywhere from 15 to 30 days to hear something.

I just hope I hear something soon because I'll have to pay another deductible in July. Wish me luck.

I'm starting to feel as though if the insurance company was going to approve the surgery I would have heard something by now.

Still don't know anything yet. Hopefully, it'll all be settled by Tuesday. I can't imagine they are working on Memorial Day.

Waiting for my insurance to approve me, I have uhc choice plus, how long does it take to hear back. Does having sleep apnea, hbp, high chlorestoral, spinal stenosis, diabeties and a body mass of 60 make them decide any faster. Can't stand the waiting. :( have completed every thing they require except for 6 month nutrition class only did 2 and my doctor thinks my paperwork should go ahead and be submitted.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
