Waiting for Insurance



Recommended Posts

Hi There,

I'm new to this site and am very excited that I've found this outlet. I live in a remote part of Alaska and do not have access to regular support group meetings. Online is the only option I have at this time. I would love it if someone in my area started a support group and would really like to connect with people in my area of the world. I have just completed my final test and am waiting for my surgeon to submit my claim to insurance. This has all been quite the process. I live about 6 hours away from my surgeon and had to go through a six months of tests and appointments. I am very excited to be so close and cannot wait until I can finally take the leap. If anyone has any advice or suggestions, please feel free to do so. Thank you!

Brandy

Welcome I'm new here too, just got my surgery last Tuesday. I was waiting long time for my insurance, they found any excuse for denial. They denial mine but my surgeon worked with them until they approved it.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
