I had my endoscopy yesterday. I am waiting for test results to come back. My regular dr is writing up my letter I did everything else I was suppose to do. I m scared I ll get run around with my insurance. I don't know why just am. I hear so many horror stories dealing with insurance companies. I am having the bypass down due to my GERD and type 2 diabetes

Also having hard time losing weight. My family doesn't understand. Ugh. Anyone else felt this way before finding out ??

I’m scheduled to have the endoscopy procedure done next Friday [emoji51]. I’m very nervous about getting insurance approval as well, but from what my patient coordinator has told me there shouldn’t be any problems as long as I complete all of my requirements and don’t gain weight. Who is your insurance provider?

I am also getting my appointments together for an approval. I am also nervous due to it being close to the holidays. I don't need a endoscopy due to having a colonoscopy done early this year . Just need to attend nutrition class. And get some lab work done . Really pushing to finish everything this week or before the end of the month. Really want my surgery this year due to my job switching insurance next year. Keeping my fingers crossed 🤞🏾

Fidelis . I did call up the insurance and asked some questions. They said they go by whatever Dr says. I hope you don't run into any problems. I guess we just have to stay positive.

Good for you! I pray and hope you get your surgery this year. Stay positive. It's so tough.

      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!

      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!!
