I am two days away from surgery - have not lost much on the pre op liquid diet - probably just flooded haha

Our insurance just changed at the beginning of the year , and so that has thrown a wrench in everything - and we are still waiting on an pre auth -

I feel like everything is hurry up and wait - and I may have tortured myself for no good reason if they deny surgery

I have my post op diet box all set up - cook books ready - chopper on hand - I have an awesome support system - they truly are the only reason I have not imploded by now -

This is me just trying to find light at the end of the tunnel and a pattern in the chaos

That same exact thing happened to me before my sleeve surgery. I still got approved easily but our deductible went up.

hang in there. It will all work out.

Good Luck! I know how you feel. The same thing happened to me in 2005... I finally did it on my own last year.. I hope it didnt change too much. In my case i put it on hold for work purposes and then in 2005 they didnt cover it at all anymore.. I was fuming but tis ok. I am determined and it took a long time but finally got it done and do not regret it at all.

      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!!
