HELP. what do I do next?



Recommended Posts

So I had to do a 6 month weight loss program through IEHP with weight watchers & my 6 Months are almost done, so now I’m just wondering what do I do next, what should I expect? Anything that y’all can tell me that might help? Please and thank you. I’m just so excited and I hope I get approved.

Call your surgeons office to set up an appointment..they may have requirements before setting a date..such as clearance from your PCP. So definitely contact them asap.

How do I know who’s my surgeon? Or how do I get one that accepts my insurance?

Research a surgeon in your area and call to see if they accept your insurance.

Hi Daizeoh, I have IEHP and was required to do the 6mo, I choose Weight Watchers, once your done, hopefully you have your next monthly doc appointment scheduled for around that time? You will provide your doctor with the last set of weigh in records, then she will submit it to the insurance for approval. Do you have a secondary condition along with the over weight? The reason I ask is because I was denied at first because I had not done the sleep test but AFTER I did and it came back I had minor sleep apnea it was approved.

Most likely they will send you to Dr Krahn in San Bernardino that’s the surgeon.

Okay I’m almost done with weight watchers, I haven’t gone for a month but a because they said they’ve been backed up on sending the coupons and still I have to wait two to three weeks to get more. As of now I know that I have hypothyroidism I believe it’s that one I’m not positive lol and I’ve had back surgery in 2015 but I had x rays done and i guess they seen something wrong so they sent me to get an mri

      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!!
