RNY November 2017



Recommended Posts

Nov 1! Wow! So close, makes this real, doesn't it? How are you doing? I imagine I will be an emotional basket case when I am that close!!

I am really shaking today, my nerves. I know this is the right decision. Just scared of the pain afterwards. I hope it's controlled.

@TheNewMrsR Good luck tomorrow! You and Tinks are surgery twins!!! Can't wait to hear back from each of you. Way to kick off November! All Saints Day. It's when I had my double mast. It's a good day for surgery. :)

ROFLMAO about the train, the shoes, or being nekkidy! LOL!
So, don't spaz over the psych eval. It was sooooo easy peasy...mainly just a test with 400 questions. Then you sit and chat for about 30-45 minutes. He'll talk about why you want the surgery, how you think it will help. He's trying to see if you're a psychopath, have hidden personality disorders, if you are withit and right with the world...lol. If you have depression, eating disorders, alcohol or drug probs, that sort of thing, I think it would be trickier and worth a little anxiety. But otherwise, you'll do great! ((hugs)) and so excited for you!


Sorry [emoji20] I saw this maaaaa late. But I didn’t get it like you ... all I had was the chat and that’s it. [emoji848] better that way I guess, just now my new headache is .. when to call the insurance to see if it was submitted and not sound so desperate. Lol

Congrats to those having surgery tomorrow. Praying for you all. I'm one week away and my nerves are already stretched thin. But I know this is the path I need to follow. And hey, I've lost 8 1/2 lbs already on my liver shrink diet. Mine isn't all liquids. But still rough! lol@FluffyChix Happy Halloween!

OMG! This was me yesterday. I "think" they submitted some time around the 24th, and so I was searching the boards and Google to see what the usual turn around time would be--I don't want to call and red-flag me at the insurance! :blink: Knuckle biter for sure!

Totally in the same boat. Mine was supposed to be submitted last week. My office said to lay off and not follow-up with insurance and that they typically hear back within two weeks. I’m struggling not to call though and to make sure everything was received.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      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!
