Yeah... see now I feel like calling tomorrow .. Someone here that got surgery from that same hospital said they forgot to submit hers.. and almost missed her surgery.. I don’t wanna be one of the lucky ones. I will call tomorrow [emoji31].

Take “feel like” out of the sentence and “get er done.” And don’t be afraid to tell them that you’ve checked with insurance who has no record of the pre-cert submission. They should be better, but some places won’t be unless you push them.

So apparentlyI won't be having the surgery on the 20th 😕 I called the hospital and apparently I will have to pay $1300 up front with Medicare to have it done. I really wish I would have known that before. The surgeon's office told me it would only be "around a $200 deductible" I will have to call and try to get it rescheduled tomorrow. I'm super bummed.

Good morning everyone! I hope you are all doing well and are ready for the weekend!

How is everyone who already had surgery?

I'm trying to keep my chin up here. Don't know if I will hear about the insurance on Monday or not--since it was only filed yesterday. God's timing is perfect though, so I'm trying hard to just relax into the process and accept that my experience is different than the expectation--and that is ok. LOL. It's def harder than it sounds!

I may not be around as much this weekend. It's my "really big weekend!" LOL. So I will miss you guys and will check back in on Sunday.

Hugs to all!!!

@Luisajfc Don't forget to call your doctor's office!!!

Just reading about all the insurance drama is breaking my heart! I can't imagine having to jump through hoops like that. Canada may be freezing for 6 months out of the year, but I am grateful that I don't have to worry about insurance, and that my expenses are covered.

Hugs to all of you still waiting for your final approval, and sending healing thoughts for everyone who had their surgery this week. There are so many of us that I'm having a hard time keep up with it all !!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
