Playing the Waiting game :-/



Recommended Posts

Just heard from my Patient Advocate at Dr. Smith's office in Celebration FL that they have received all my clearances and sent them to my insurance to get the go ahead... I know this is a good thing but I'm not patient at all lol ...

Thank you all for the kind words !!!! Just received an email from my patient Advocate that she is missing my paperwork from July's supervised diet appointment 😕 ... Know I got to see if my Primary care provider has it and hopefully resend it .. I'm kicking myself in the butt cause they always asked me if I wanted the paperwork after they faxed it and I said no..

UGH! I received another call from Sage Bariatric on 9/26/19. My pre-authorization has been approved, but still waiting on the approval for the predetermination. So I google BCBS pre-authorization and predetermination, because I was really confused. Pre-authorization or pre-notification, pre-certification confirms that a physicians’ plan of treatment meets medical necessity criteria under the applicable health benefit plan. A predetermination is a voluntary, written request by a provider to determine if a proposed treatment or service is covered under a patient’s health benefit plan. Predetermination approvals and denials are usually based on our medical policies. It has been two week and this waiting is really kicking my butt. But on the upside. I have gotten some much needed cleaning done trying to stay busy when i get off of work.

I am so thankful i found this sight, I just really needed to think-out-loud.

      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! 😞
