Submitting package tomorrow!
JessLS99 replied to JessLS99's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Time will fly! Now that I'm at this point, it almost feels like it wasn't long enough to get totally mentally prepared. Seemed like an eternity to wait when I first started. Thanks for the well wishes! -
After a 3 month medically supervised diet, my package is ready for submission to the insurance company! Any ideas about how long United Healthcare takes to turn around a decision? My surgeon has someone who was approved yesterday scheduled for surgery next week. This just got very real very quickly!

First Meeting With Surgeon In Am
JessLS99 replied to JessLS99's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Thank you! My appointment went very well, and he said that I was "a perfect candidate"! I think he was impressed with my lack of medical history to have to deal with. I asked him all my questions on my list, and keep adding more for the next time I see him. Off to my regular doc on Tuesday to start my 3 month medically supervised diet required by insurance. I'm ready to get this moving! -
I have my very first meeting with my would be surgeon in the morning. I've been to an informational session led by him and have been reading like crazy to be as informed as possible for this initial appointment. Any particular questions I should ask that you wish you would have? I'm excited and nervous all at the same time!

So Many Problems. Worth It?
JessLS99 replied to Tracy Anderson's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Coffee ground stools can be an indication of GI bleeding. Very possible complication with the recent lovenox use. Hope you get to feeling better soon!
