My insurance received my paperwork today, they said I should have an approval/denial in 5 business days! Can't wait to actually have the surgery scheduled, having a solid date would make it "real" !!

My doctors office called the insurance even before he would see me and when it was approved I started the treatment 6 months ago.I am curious to find out about the hospital bill. Do I have to pay when I get admitted to it or on my way out?

I'm hoping for August. I'm traveling overseas for a wedding in October so it's either August or November. Just started this process and won't even get approved until August so I'm hoping for a miracle

Usually you will need to pay co-pay upfront before you are taken in.

I've just had a ton of work travel. Cleveland clinic florida has been patiently waiting for months for me to be here long enough to recover. Need an update clearance from my primary July 12, my pre surgery visit with surgeon Aug 5 and surgery august 10. It's all planned now. Can't wait.

Had my pcp appointment today and I'm down 5.6 lbs this month. They puts me at 20.something in the last 2 months. I've got 8 more lbs to go before my surgery and at least a month and a half to do it in so I should be fine. Best advice I can give for pre-op patients is don't wait until the 2 week diet or the surgery to start changing your eating habits. I do 2-3 Protein shakes/drinks a day and a low carb dinner. I've bee doing this for 2 months now. I have seen far far too many people flipping out when the 2 week diet time comes and not sure if they can do it and cheating. I think it's best if we prepare ourself physically and mentally. I've also gotten to try many Protein products and know which ones I do and don't like.

      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!!
