Just got a surgery date!



Recommended Posts

October 3! I thought I would be so excited by now I’m worried to death that insurance will deny me.

Hi @busyforever! Congrats on your surgery date! Didn't your surgeon get the approval before giving you a date? I'm still in the pre-op process (appts and all of that fun stuff) so I'm trying to learn as much as possible. I could have sworn my surgeon told me that they go through insurance first, get approval and THEN set a surgery date. I should be ready for everything to be submitted for insurance by the end of next month so I have my fingers crossed! I have no concept of how long it will be once I get the insurance approval and I'm so eager to just get this show on the road! Lol

Congrats! I'm surprised they gave you a surgical date before insurance approval, I don't think I've seen that happen before.

@JessieGrace319 @Matt Z hey, thanks! I agree, it’s weird but yes! They had me do all the testing, then scheduled surgery at my follow up. I also had to schedule all of my pre op & post op appointments for the next 9 months. It will all be submitted to insurance one month before the surgery date ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      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! 😞
