Had my last meeting with nutrition group. Also had my last set of blood work done so I’m really close to my surgery date, just waiting for clearance from the insurance company!?

Awesome!! I'm just waiting as well! Got all my requirements finished last week. It's so hard to wait!!

Yes. Its hard to wait. Been approved for a month now. Waiting on a date.

It will come and go before we realize it.

Best wishes.

Hurry up and wait!!!! That's the insurance motto!

And here I thought it was " Your Plan Doesn't Cover that!" I got a prescription for Ferrocite from my Bariatric surgeon's office, Silver Scripts my Medicare Part D insurer does not cover it. They said buy something over the counter, think they meant " Go away Lady, we got important insurance matters to think of" the over the counter iron I know of is Ferrous Sulfate, I am an RnY, I can't digest SO4 without stomach acid, should I enrich the local sewage system with unresolved and dissolved iron or should I have my Ferrous Fumerate which is what Ferrocite or Hemocyte is? Its only about $13, but it's late in the month and I don't have that much cash left. So do I wait a week until February 1st when I can afford it? Don't think I will fade away by then, but it is a pain to fight with them about a little bottle of pills.???

Talk to your pharmacist. People often forget about their local pharmacist (pharmacy technician here) but they are a WEALTH of information and often more informed then physicians!!
