Plenty of room on the bench!!!!

APPROVED!!!!!! That was all the email I got from my insurance coordinator said this morning!!!! Can I say "OMG I about had a freaking heart attack." I have been the worst patient possible. I have hounded that poor woman everyday. I have hounded the insurance (UHC) everyday. My voice became familiar enough they knew what I was calling about soon as they heard my voice. But ALL the work I have done feels like it has paid off now!!!! The count down has begun. 6 days and about 9 hours tell I get my spot on the losers bench. Y'all move over!!! Lol

Got my Verbal approval today!!! I have pre op visit with the surgeon and pre admit with the hospital Monday 9/30 then surgery Oct. 1....hope you get your date quickly!!!

Awesome!!! Do you mind if I ask how tall you are?

I am keeping a binder. In it I have my doctors plan and info. But has gone so far beyond that. I have recipes for each stage. I have fitness info, suggestions, and plans. I have inspirational quotes. I have found printable logs for my food, exercise, and designed my on journal pages. It's all girly and customize just for me. Everything I find here or on my FB support groups I save and copy it and put it in my binder. It out grew my first binder and I got a lot bigger binder for it. It's so inspirational. I have every thing at my finger tips. I love it and think it has really helped me so far in the process of gathering info. I feel it will help keep me accountable and encouraged. I think it's an awesome Idea for you!!!

Looking good!

Still pre op but mine will be covered 100% if I use a network doc and a center of excellence, which I am of course. No deductible or out of pocket. I only pay my $35 copay when I see the NUT or surgeon. I am very thankful for my husbands insurance.

So excited for you!

You will do great!!! I have talked to several patients of his. I am also using south Mississippi surgical group like PAT but I am using Dr Avara. My surgery date is OCT 1st.

Haven't been 21 in 19 years...lol....but thanks!!!!

My doctor did do a drug test and I was not made aware they were doing it until the results came in. Of course I didn't have that to worry about. But be careful marijuana can interact with meds used during surgery.

I will finally be sleeved on OcTober 1st!!!! I can not believe that in a month from this Sunday I will be on the other side sitting on the losers bench.....

Ok I need prayers!!!! My file was sent to UHC for approval (see how I won't even let the "D" word into my vocabulary) and it is in review!!!! I need prayers because my tentative surgery date depending on approval is OCTOBER 1st. Two short weeks away!!!! I have been in this process and jumping hoops for so long now.....but it's getting real now.....

We were told no certain amount of cals. Just measure your food and only eat the amounts your plan has prescribed.

Say a prayer that mine comes back that fast!!! Because of work scheduling I had to schedule for 1st of October or wait a cpl months which I just couldn't see doing after waiting over a year. Thank you!!! Can't wait to be on the losers bench...
