So happy and so grateful...I no longer have to stalk the financing and insurance forum!!! They said yes!


Congratulations!! How late no did it take to get your surgery date after your insurance approved it?

Also, I've been calling daily, it's been 12 days. Is there anything I can do to help move it along??

Thanks!!!! And best wishes!!


Best wishes!

So I got the call yesterday and lucky for me there was another patient who had to cancel and that's how the November 14 date became available....the other dates were very few and far between. The reason given was holiday schedules. Believe me I wish I could schedule it for tomorrow. I guess it's tricky this time of year so you have to pause and say to yourself at least you got the approval and your done with all of those preliminary appointments...that too (at least for me) seemed like it was such a long way out...but really time does fly and we'll be on our way to check in on surgery day.

I would still call everyday and see if there was a cancellation that you can slide into...just blame it on your excitement. I'm sure they're completely used to it. Are you already assigned to a specific surgeon?
I do try to pass the time reading all of the forums on here .[emoji4][emoji12]

      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!

        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!!
