All up to Insurance at this point



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone

I haven't posted in a while but wanted to update you all that I completed all the pre-op necessary insurance stuff and met with my surgeon this morning.

They will be submitting my information to insurance in the next few days then the wait begins for the approval process.

My insurance company takes awhile to approve (they told me 21 business days when I inquired about it) so at this time if approved I am looking at a mid-November surgery date.

It has been a long process but I know some people have longer then what I went thru.

I'm almost in the same boat. I had to get my appointments all rescheduled a couple of times, because the WLS Center lost a couple of staffers and had to move everyone around. I found that I will likely get an earlier appointment with my primary care doc to count as one of the 3 weight management appointments that are required. Which means my paperwork will be submitted in the first week of October instead of the last week of November.

I'm hoping for a November or December surgery date!

I totally understand! I just got my approval letter from insurance last week, and it was like Christmas!! Waiting is difficult when you're ready. I still have to wait until 10/11 for an appointment to set the surgery date. It's definitely a study on patience and perseverance!

I hope your approval comes quickly. Mine took about a week when they told me two weeks.

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
