I am having surgery on the 22nd. My parents have been going through a divorce for 2 years, both in serious relationships most of that time. The divorce was just finalized. My dad just took me out to lunch and told me he is getting married on the 26th and wants me to ride in the car for 2 hours to go to the wedding. He chose not to tell me that e was getting married until after I set my surgery date. He got all upset and started crying when I told him I didn't think I could make it.. What do you all think?? Is it ok to ride in a car for 2 hours, 4 days after gastric bypass?? I don't know what it feels like so I don't know of it's ok!!!? He said he would get us a hotel room so we didn't have to drive it twice in one day.

It won't fully hit you until you get insurance approval and get your date. That just happened for me this week. How I feel like it's really going to happen and I'm pretty overwhelmed. I have a three year old so it is going to take a lot of planning with my hubby's work schedule and making sure he gets to daycare. Just remember it will all be worth it!!

Lynn did you see dr tanner more than once before surgery?? I've only seen him once and the only appt I have left is the preop class next week.

Yeah. He asked me to reschedule my surgery.

I wasn't sure if I was going to make it an October date but I did! October 22nd.

I called her everyday for a week to tell her they had the wrong fax number for my insurance and she never returned one call. My husband got fed up and one day he called her every 10 minutes until she answered. She left me a voicemail earlier today but now won't call me back since I returned her call. When is your surgery?

Dr tanner. :-). He is pretty awesome. I don't have a date yet. Insurance just approved me yesterday so now I have to wait for Veronica to call me. She's absolutely horrible. I can't stand her.

I went to the surgeon on 9/3 to have a visit with him and meet the insurance lady. She told me what my insurance requires and how to schedule everything. I got all of my clearances done in 2 weeks. Everything on my end is done. She told me a week ago she was sending it to insurance. My insurance does not have it. I have repeatedly called the lady for the last 3 work days. No response. My surgeon is very highly recommended. I don't want to switch. I feel very comfortable with him and my insurance says if I do decide to switch I have to redo everything. I don't know what to do. I need to get this scheduled before it gets into the holiday season so my hubby can take off to be with me and take care of our son.

I just finally heard from my insurance... I was APPROVED.

Lynn73. Who's doing your surgery?? I live in Clarksville but I'm having it done in louisville.

They haven't reviewed it :-(. I heard someone in the background say "she's calling again" lmao. All we are waiting on is insurance approval. They are going to get a break from me today though Cus I woke up with a floor fill of water and a completely defrosted fridge and freezer. Needless to say I have to spend my day taking care of that and won't have time to bug them all day :-(

I'm so impatient!! The insurance office has only been open 2 hours today and I'm already dying to call and see If it's been reviewed!!!

I finally got ahold of someone at my insurance who was helpful. She called the office and demanded the paper work. They sent it to her immediately. The lady is cutting out all of the middle men and sending I to be reviewed herself and I should have an answer tomorrow or Thursday!

My husband called the office and she answered. She immediately said "I haven't heard anything" she obviously had not even listened to my voicemails about her having the wrong fax number. she acted like she had done nothing wrong by avoiding my calls. She did tell my husband she would immediately fax it to the correct number. Hopefully she does this time.

I've called her and the insurance company 3 + times a day for the past week. She won't even call me back to schedule an appt. I even paid a 300 dollar program fee for them to handle the insurance stuff. If she does not call me back tomorrow my husband is going to call.

I have bcbs il through ups and don't have to do it!!

And I know right about that being drs excuses for everything!! I broke two fingers by having them smashed by a box that was being handled by someone else at my previous job. Under possible contributing factors the work injury dr wrote obesity.

I'm not sure about that. I'm not supposed to use it until after surgery. (According to said dumbass gyno). I'm going to ask my surgeon when I see him for my scope Thursday if I can go ahead and use it.

I ended up with the nuva ring. I saw a new dr and she was horrible. She was like "well if you can't take the pill or the shot I don't know what to tell you because you are too big for anything else" I was very angry. I know women that are bigger than me that have had the ring and the implant. She was just really insensitive and rude.

Hey everyone! I am hoping to be scheduled for an October surgery! I just finished all of the clearences my dr and insurance require. It should be going to the insurance today. My surgeons office says it will only take 1-2 weeks to approve. My biggest thing was getting doctors to submit my paperwork after I saw them to be cleared. At 3 pm yesterday I was still waiting on 3 letters. I went to my gyno about bc and she really upset me by lecturing me about my weight. I called all of the drs I had been waiting on and since I was so upset they sent them all over :-). I can't wait to get this done! I'm more excited for mg husband And my son than myself. I've always had this feeling that I'm not good enough for my hubby because of my weight. He is less than 200 pounds and very fit. He says its nuts and if h felt that way he wouldn't be here but it's still always in the back of my mind. I see all of his friends and their super hot wives and just feel bad for him. I can't wait for that to change!!

Hey ladies, I am 23 and have one child. My hubby and I want more but my dr will not do surgery until I promise him I will not get pregnant for 2 years and he is making me go on birth control before I have surgery. My question is; what kind of birth control do you recommend after surgery?? I have the dreaded gynecologist appointment Monday and I want to already know what I want before I go in there. I've read that after surgery your body may not absorb the pill completely but I've never had any experience with the shot?!?!? I need suggestions please!

Does anyone have anthem Kentucky?? I'm going through the process of getting cleared from cardiology, etc that my dr and my insurance requires. They won't submit to insurance until its done. Does anyone know how long it takes to get approval once its submitted?
