Insurance Approved Me!



Recommended Posts

I got my insurance approval letter yesterday (it only took 2 weeks after the request was submitted). Needless to say I am very excited. Hopefully within about 3 weeks I can have surgery. I currently take 6 injections a day for diabetes and am looking forward to the day I am off all medications. I also have issues with ED so I am hoping after I am off all meds and drop a bunch of weight that area gets better also.

This is the 2nd time being in the program. The first time was 2 years ago and about 2/3 the way thru my insurance changed to a policy that didn't cover it so I had to stop after being in the program about 5 months. This past January I purposely switched employers just to get back to the good insurance and it worked. I am a contractor for the federal government so my employer and benefits could change at any time so I have been holding my breath hoping that I could get through the program and the surgery before I get moved to another contract company again.

Congrats!! That's exciting news!

Hubs had the surgery in April and is off blood pressure medicine and his diabetes meds. Although everyone's journey is different, hoping you see the same results.

Good luck!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
