My questionnaire took an hour and half so i doubt it...lol

I had mine yesterday...part 1 was a personal interview. Part 2 was a 576 questionnaire...omg! I find out my results Monday!

Congrats. What of ins do you have?

Has anyone doc ever handwritten the letter if medical clearance for the insurance company or surgeons office? Im nervous!

How long did your coordinator wait to submit all of your paperwork to your insurance company?? I will be finished will all appts on the 15th..just curious?

She told me it would be a 2-3 days turnaround....don't know why ut would take so long...lol

I plan only to tell my husband, mom and sisters

I am so undecided as to if i should take sick or vacay leave for a week. The pros of sick leave are is that there is no set # of days you can or can't take. As long as it is documented. But the cons of sick leave. I have to tell my supervisors risking everyone (40) people in the office. Also the pros of vacay leave is no questions asked. No one in my business. My question is....what did you use?

Lol

I think i am just going to tell them im using fmla and will be out 10 days. Idk..my short term disability forms ask what 'illness' i have....

So u mean to tell me is that i can notify just hr and my supervisor that i am having surgery and if it leaks out to employees that i am having surgery i can file a lawsuit?

My insurance finally started covering the sleeve. Prior to then I was talking to a patient advocate at Dr. Lavin's office. She said call back when coverage starts. Well today is the day and now they are saying that it may take several weeks to verify coverage..i don't have several weeks. Bad enough I waited 6 months to.have a ins cover it. Is there a doc in Metairie or New Orleans that may have an easier process? Who was your surgeon? Help, please!

I totally agree, but Hippa comes into play.

Hey Dana..what was your post op diet like? How long were u on liquids?

Hi Danielle what was the post op diet like? How long were u on liqiids?

I am sure most of you ladies are wide calfed like me. ....I haven't been sleeved as of yet. I took the liberty to order some sexy boots off of a website and when I finally got em they didn't fit! I am so dissapointed but my question is...does your calves get smaller?? Help!

Well thanks the responses! I bought my boots to wear for my bday tomorrow but I guess I have to switch it up

What r u telling your bosses?

If I am not mistaken. Its state law for a person having surgery to have another person accompany them while in surgery.
