To be honest I'm not sure all of my paperwork has been submitted yet. Completed about 1/2 of my required apps. But the surgeon scheduled my surgery date already and I have all my doctor visits scheduled to be completed by March 7th.

When was all your paperwork submitted to the insurance company and how soon after did you get your surgery date



About 2 weeks after.

It took almost 3 weeks to submit between my doctor and surgeon. However it only took about 3 business days to get approved after that.

My Surgeon office won't give me a set until I get the approval. I didn't go through his office for any appointments. I did everything on my own and once I did everything that my insurance required to get the surgery, I looked on line for the surgeon I wanted set up an consultation had all the labs results , psyc eval, and 6 month visits faxed to him. They were impressed too. Called me on 2/8 and said they faxed everything to insurance on2/7. I went on line to see if they did I see they have everything. I called insurance today they said give them 10 days

      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!!
