April 3rd surgery approved



Recommended Posts

I thought I would have to postpone to fulfill insurance criteria of a 6 month diet plan but the surgery got approved immediately. 60 days and counting.

Thank you its so great to be able to share the news. I have had a lack luster response from the few folks I have told so I am not saying anything else about it and just forging ahead on my own.

If only I had come around to the idea sooner I could be heading into surgery any day now. First world problems but I have a few ski trips booked with other people so have to wait until after those. I arrive home from France on the sunday and head into Surgery on the Monday, liquid diet (not the fun kind) for the journey back to the US for me. Thankfully my surgeon doesn't require the 2 weeks pre op diet and I am already below my surgery target weight so it will work. I never though there would be a day when I would prefer not to be going on a ski trip, but I guess it shows how ready for this I really am.

Roll on April my fellow April Sleevers we are looking forward to a fabulous summer 2017 :-)

In Mexico with Dr. Illan. I tried jumping through the hoops with my insurance but I couldn't jump higher enough. Became very discouraged and after alot of research decided to go with Dr Illan.

The important thing is you are getting the surgery. It's a shame the insurance company could not see the benefits to them to pay but I'm sure they will be happy to enjoy your lower medical costs as a result.

The while insurance thing is crazy. I called and assured it was covered. Called again after WLC said united help at just denied someone because they needed 6 mths supervised diet. My WLC didn't even want to put the request in because they were so convince I would need the six months yet they kept going forward with planning for April. In the end I forced them to put it in and it was approved in 3 days no diet plan needed. A lot of stress for nothing but pleased it's covered.

I attended all the meetings and appointments. I couldn't lose the weight that they wanted but as soon as quit from being discouraged I lost the weight and some. It was frustrating to change everything and not lose weight but the good thing is my dog did. Lol

It all seems a little unreal right now but it will be here before I know it especially with a ski trip in europe right before. I fly back on the saturday with surgery monday morning so I will have to start my clear liquid 2 day pre op diet at the start of the journey home. That will be a even longer flight than usual. I had my tests with the PCP this week and got her clearance letter I have the hospital pre check next week then I hop on the flight. Its going to be s a whirlwind. Best of luck Safe Travels to you.

      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.
