Last Doctor Visit Today! Insurance Approval Here I come!



Recommended Posts

So, today is finally my last doctor visit of my six months of required visits. We thought last month was, but the bariatric center said they don't include my visit with the surgeon. So I called them today to make sure they have everything they need to send to the insurance company. I hope a decision is made quick so I'm not waiting forever! I did also finally decide on the Bypass vs the Sleeve.

I just finished my last requirement on Monday and am now waiting for my approval as well! I am also doing the Bypass. Hope you get good news soon!

I decided that since the bypass has been around longer, and many people go from sleeve to bypass that I would go right to it. My insurance is a one time thing, so if I had sleeve, then later wanted to have the bypass it'd be out of my pocket. I decided to just go right to the top step.

I ended up calling my insurance company just to ask if they needed anything else LOL. They said the nurse started reviewing all the info on Friday and once they make a decision they'll fax my surgeon office and mail me a letter.... okay... hurry up already lol

Haha! I don't blame you for being impatient. Hopefully they will review it very quickly!

I just called my surgeon's office today because my file was completed on Friday... Just to check if they had everything She said that she is putting it in today or tomorrow at the latest. I should hear back from her within a week. It's going to be a super long week!

      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!!
