surgery got chnaged to Oct 23 from Oct 9 pending insurance approval aghh this feels likeits gonna tke forever how frustarating

October 9 portland maine:)

So i started my journey in April and flew right threw everything and met my surgeon on May 30 and she said i can get the gastric bypass not the sleeve which i had wanted after that i chickened out and decided against it till about 3 weeks ago. so i called my doc and told her i wanted it again i have a endoscopy on Wednesday and then she will tell me from there if i am okay for surgery on Oct 9... the problem is i have no insurance and was gonna get medicaid and in my state you have to be incapacitated for 30 days minunm to qualify if your married etc and you only get for the days your incapacitated so they call today and tell me they are denying me cause i need to apply for insurance 10 days before my surgery WHAT 10 days before that means apply meet with someone then they have to tell me i need to meet a spend down then they will open then it needs to be prior authorized all in 10 days i think not what the hell i am so frustrated right now

tentative October 9 surgery...

I am from northern nh what city are u from?

i am shooting between october 7-14 i have a appt with insurance sept 3 so 2 weeks from today....I am so hoping everything goes as plan i had everything don in June but chickened out of setting a date was scared of the complications. But i decided i dont want to live in the what if's so i am doing this and hoping for the bet...

And they had a opening well today now that its 3am lol my insurance runs out friday and my appt was monday so i called and there was no sooner appts so i cancelled then 4 or 5 hours later my phone rings and someone cancelled today so i get to meet my surgeon wicked excited unfortunately i cant pick a date cause have to come up with $1,500 up front.but atleast i get to meet the surgeon

I started this the 1st week of april and got to fly through it all i am done with all my appt and classes now i get to meet the surgeon in 6 days Monday to be exact only down fall is if she gives the go ahead i am at a stall cause i need to come up with $1,500 and didnt know this till 2 weeks ago big bummer but keeping my fingers crossed

Neverheard of this till now luckily i dont want to live long enough to be ina nursing home etc i work in one and its just sad ill be happy if i make it to 65-70 my question is though what about those of us that are destined to die young 30's or 40's does that mean we will die now just kinda confusing i mean i know if there is complications but jeez. Hope you feel better soon

New Hampshire
