You go dawnie. Sending prayers up and praying blessings flow down. I am still getting the runaround. Nothing still submitted to my insurance company and it's been two weeks. Thinking about switching my doctor. Tomorrow is my breaking point if they still haven't submitted. :-0

Sending prayers your way as well. Let me know how things go.

So, it seems like I may have to do my nutritional visits over again. The new bariatric program is much more strict regarding their testing and requirements...which is a good thing. However, all of this pushes me back even more! Smh Oh the wait!!!!

Well dawnie updates on me. I had a surgery date for July 11th. Unfortunately that has been postponed. My doctor didn't have a complete 90 days of appointments of me being on the program. I need one more appointment for the month of June which thank God I was able to get a last minute appointment on June 30th. Then I have to do an end of program appointment with my doc to discuss my progress on the program and anything relating to surgery in general. Then they will submit the remaining info to Aetna on my open case and reach a decision then. Hopefully I can have approval and a surgery date by end of July or early August. Trying to stay prayed up and keep my faith.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!!
