Just got my surgery date! So excited!! I got a call from the nurse yesterday and she said since my BP has been dangerously high at the last couple visits & at the exercise physiologists visit, their going to try to move the surgery date to October if any spot comes open! Yaay!

Morning ladies. About to start getting ready to leave for my doc visit. It takes about an hour and a half to get there at this time of day because of traffic. How gross, right?
Weight is still at 230.8lb this morning--probably cuz it's the butt crack of dawn here and too early to weigh. *snort* So it will be doubly surprising at the surgeon's office. *snic* So much to do today with work and getting ready to leave tomorrow for our "big weekend!" Say a pray that I will everything done without morphing into a complete b-i-t-c-h! [emoji3]
Hugs all around and blessing to all going into surgery today!

Hope you have a great day and best of luck! Stay safe and hope you already approved ( I can’t help it)

Hope your appointment goes really well and you find out everything you need to know while you're there today!

Its FINALLY my big day!! And of course I woke up extra hungry and can't even have a stupid protein shake ? LOL I will make myself some black coffee I guess. Have to be at the hospital at 1130... will get there and tell them I'm ready for some drugs! So freaking anxious, woke up like every 2 hours after I finally fell asleep!

Hope everyone has a wonderful day today! ?

Good luck!

Haha I warned my hubby that I may become super ****** and asked him to please be understanding and bare with me. I told him I can't be held accountable for things I may say out of starvation. lol he laughed because he's very easy going and never takes my foul moods to heart anyhow. I jokingly told him to just throw cookies my way and slowly back away if it gets too bad.... lol

Coming into this late, but are you waiting for approvals?

Coming into this late, but are you waiting for approvals?

Yes I am. Had my date and all my visits .. been two weeks since my last visit.

@Luisajfc I'm so sorry you still haven't heard!!!! ((hugs)) Call tomorrow!!! Do not wait!!!

I had a TERRIBLE doc visit. OMG!!!! I now wish I had called last week!!! The front office spaced it and didn't submit me to insurance! I was crushed. There were tears, terse words with the assistant, STRESSSSSSSS, clinic managers. Holy cow. I can say the surgeon and clinic manager were solid gold through it. But I left an emotional mess. At first I thought I was gonna have to wait the 6-8 weeks for insurance approval! But the clinic manager told me they are trying to rush it through insurance approval so we will hopefully hear back on Monday. I have a tentative "goal" date anywhere from 11.28.17-12.05.17. Saying prayers.

In the end, they were super duper and the front office and I made up, but I was a complete and utter wreck. I feel so drained. Massive headache. Have been teary all day and just feel rough and pretty sad that it had to be that way. (All because I went to an RD from the surgeon that was out of our hospital group. So the RD records weren't in the computer where they were supposed to be. They were waiting in emails. So I lost 18days waiting patiently.

*heavy sigh* I really HATE dramamama stuff!

My biggest advice to everyone is to call the insurance company to make sure all the paperwork was received and is in review. I’ve literally been having the week from hell trying to understand why I thought I’d be getting a decision this week, only to find out that my paperwork kept getting bounced back because of a discrepancy in my frickin address of all things! I originally took the advice of the surgeons office to calmly wait the two week period rather than following up once the paper were submitted and now I have to wait another two weeks to actually get an answer.

MAKE SURE YOU CALL...DO NOT BE SHY!

I have, I even called today... and they said they have not receive anything. ( insurance) I’ll wait for Monday to call my coordinator since I start my liquid diet this Tuesday. Which is 2 weeks. I wanna be sure that everything went well before I get all my hopes up. ☹️

I agree, call the doctors office ASAP. I was literally on a parallel calls with my insurance and surgeons office at the same time (flipping back and forth) on Tuesday so they could sort this crap out. So annoying to be stressed about approvals and then have this part of the process have so many issues.

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].
