It's been a week since I got the call that everything was being scanned to be sent to insurance, but my insurance hasn't gotten anything yet. I started this journey in June of last year, I'm just so impatient and ready to start my new journey!

Follow up calls, ladies. Don't let your file be the one that "slipped through the cracks". Politely remind your surgeon's office that you are still waiting for approval.

Keep calling, my friend. The office will "push" for a response just so they don't have to be embarrassed again by not having an answer for you.

Been there (office manager for years), done that, have the tee shirt that says so! :)

That's a long time, I'm hoping for a date that week also, bc my husband travels so much he is home 3/14-3/28 and I would much rather have it while he is here.

I'm with you guys too. Hate waiting

I'm so impatient especially when you are told it's being submitted and then insurance tells you they haven't received anything a week later.

I called my insurance back yesterday and they still haven't gotten anything! Emailed my surgery coordinator and haven't gotten a response from her, it's been a week since they told me they were scanning my paperwork to send it in. So frustrated!

The first time my paperwork was submitted it took the 4 days to upload it into the system! This time it was literally the same day as my appointment... I called today and they said it is "under review" instead of "pending"... But at least they have it... When it took them the 4 days, I was annoyed! So I know how you feel! :(

At this point I just want to know it was sent, but I can't even get that answer ????

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      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!!
