Waiting is such a pain!!!



Recommended Posts

So I am at the VERY beginning of my journey. I found a hospital that I like and they have been super helpful. I'm currently waiting for approval from my insurance company so I can schedule my appointment. I wish that the hospital was closer but it's still in my state and it's around a 4 hour drive. Has anyone in SC gone through Roper St Francis in Charleston for their surgery? How was your experience? How long did you have to wait to hear back about your insurance?

Waiting for anything right now is a pain lol.

I am in southern ca with Kaiser so I can’t answer your insurance questions. But I did have a lot of hoops I had to jump through (weight loss, classes, tests, psych eval, ekg, etc) and I finished in December..... yet ......I’m still waiting. Everything was shut down due to covid so you will find LOTS of people who are impatiently waiting and you will be in very good company 😅

Yeah I looked into going to California since I have family there but I decided to stay in state. I hope you get your surgery soon

      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!!
