Submitting to insurance tomorrow!



Recommended Posts

My surgeon's office will be sending my stuff to the insurance company tomorrow. I will be on pins and needles waiting to hear back. I am still hoping to get a July surgery date.

Good Luck! I hope you hear back soon. I am in the same situation, but my clinic messed up and didn't submit it on the 18th like they were supposed to, so now they are trying to push it through.

Good Luck!!

Never mind, I was told today that my file is "in line to be submitted by the first of next week". I am so beyond mad because they told me 2 weeks ago they would submit today,

I think they just tell us what pops into their heads at the time. To heck with the clinic, I called the insurance company today and they did confirm they had everything and I should hear back by Monday, Tuesday at the latest since it is a long weekend. The planned date for the surgery is July 15, so maybe we will all go in at the same time!

If the dr hasn't submitted to the insurance yet I can't call and bug the insurance. :(. I sent another email asking if we could at least schedule my surgery contingent on insurance approval. We will see what they say.

Me to. I am in the exact boat as you. Waiting to hear. It was submitted 7-1-15. They did give me a surgery date of August 10th pending approval. Good luck!

I got an email today that said it would be submitted at the beginning of next week. It will be a miracle if this happens before I go back to school the middle of August! Ugh!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
