Finally moving along



Recommended Posts

So I was finally cleared to begin my insurance steps. I know I have the paper right here but I am still wrapping my head around it. Both excited and anxious. More or less anxious with going over this 😆

How quickly did some of you get they just the insurance steps? This month they got my sleep study appointment set up, and I e already dropped a copy to my primary to go over because I believe she needs to help get some
Information for me to send them.

get 2 years of medical records with at least 1 progress note faxed over, psyc evaluation and clearance, nutrition eval and clearance, month medically supervised weight loss program, letter of support from pcp, and talk to a financial counselor. All these for insurance steps.

The surgeon requirements is a cardiac assessment, sleep study which they have me scheduled this month for, egd, chest xray and a mandatory tmc pre operative class

Hi Mikeyy,

I'm in Ireland ..... and I don't need anything like the amount of paperwork you need.

Why do you have to have a sleep Study ?

Best of luck.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
