Pre-Approved by Insurance



Recommended Posts

So i just got the letter in the mail today from my insurance company that they pre-approved me for the sleeve and I am beyond thrilled. This news couldn’t have come at a better time. Now i need to make the appointment with the surgeon as to what the next steps are. My insurance is different because it’s through my school I had to get all this pre-approved before I could even meet the surgeon because then i could risk them not paying all together. Any advice on what the next steps would be? How long also was everyone in the hospital and what days do you recommend doing the surgery if i have an option? And how long were you out of work? I’m in grad school as well so I am trying to figure this all out but not wait too long putting this off.

Good luck with it all - remember we are all here for you.

I had my surgery on a Thursday and went back to work on the following Tuesday. If I could do it again I would probably do it on a Wednesday so I could go back on the following Monday but it wouldn't make that much of a difference.

I also had my gallbladder removed at the same time as the sleeve. Just remember not to overdo it and to take care of your self

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
