My life is going to change november 30 th. ????

Well guess I have 2 surgery dates. Doctors office told me November 30. Insurance letter says November 18. Got a call into doctor to see who was mistaken. I'll take either date.

My doctor will be doing the DS hietal hernia repair and yanking that nasty old gallbladder. I do have stones. But I think maybe it is the pref. Of the doctor???

Praying for you.

Well looks like you have about an hour to surgery time. Sending up prayers.

@okcpirate. Yes sir I am sure there is. I just was giving my own opinion. I would not go out of the country and I do vape. But vape 0 nicotine because I do not wish to get ulcers. If Mexico worked for you that is great. I want a lifetime relationship with my doctor.

Thank you. It was touch and go there for a bit. I did find out a good point thru all the stress. I am strong enough not to pick up a cig thru stress. ????

Thank you very much. I am blessed that they got me in this year.

No not counting the days yet. But I know I have 2 weeks of nothing but protien shakes and water sarting mov 16 th so I am dreaming of what I can't have. But did look at calander looks like in should be on puréed food starting Christmas week. So maybe I won't miss all the holidays. Sorry forgot to say thanks to u all

I also have uhc. I was told I us to be on a 6 month supervised diet. I did lose each month 30 lbs total. But I loose and gain that last 10 lbs of that 30 lbs and the doctor did not say anything. I guess it is up to your doctor and insurance plan.

Well I gave it to God and although there was no surgery dates in November I got one??? Scheduled for November 30 th

I vape 0 nicotine and plan on staying this way after surgery. Do not want any ulcers I hear they are painful on the incision. Not sure I would go out of the country for surgery saw a horrible complication from a surgery in Mexico. Was on tv today the lady had tummy tuck and didn't work out well.

Well I wish him well on his journey either way but he needs to find himself before finding a companion.

@ Miss Mac. Null has the same skype is as the original poster. He just changed his name.

Wow yesterday and well the past week has been a major roller coaster for me. I have no support in NC and omg I almost slipped on a cig. But, have made sure I went to bed with great thoughts last night of not caring what happens either way. I can not let this bother me anymore because it made me physically ill yesterday. If this surgery is meant to happen it will. I am a strong believer that everything happens for a reason. I had to take the blinders off and realize there are so many roadblocks for me thru this and there has to be a reason for them all. So if I get a date this year who hoo. If I don't yes I will be sad and prob very emotional like I have been the past week. But I just need to remember there is a reason. Thanks for everyone's support and constructive criticism. I read it all and took it all in. ????

Well I will probably not stop vaping. But I will stay on 0. I have kicked that nicotine devil in the ass and don't want to pick it back up. ????

@@KindaFamiliar you are 100% correct. I do not care what a man looks like as far as he is kind and loving ect. But give me a tall dark and handsome that is an egotistical self centered jerk well he would be ugly to me. So yes attractive has to come from the whole package to me.

There areaway changes to a policy from year to year but I have learned now that Obama care will go away each case year ????

Thank you very much. It has been crazy. With no cigs and on a diet my emotions have gone crazy. I have no support at home. So I come to these pages. But today when I was physically ill from my nerves. I made the decision that it will happen if it is gods will. If it is not his will then I will not get on the schedule. I can't make myself sick or depressed. Matter of fact I think I need Protein so hubby gonna take me to cheer me up with steak. A much smaller steak then I used to eat and salad in place of sweet potatoe. So it's not breaking my diet to aweful.

Obama care or affordable act. I had to get this coverage after losing my main medical insurance. It was the only thing to cover my pre existing. I am with uhc and in North Carolina. No platinum plans and of course my plan is not avail in 2016. So if u r going to drop private ins to get Obama care you better make sure bariatric is covered and make sure u get it done within 1 year Do not expect your plan to be avail the second year. I have approval but here it is at the end of the year and I'm waiting on pins and needles to see if there is room for me o. The schedule. I would have much rather had Private insurance. Do your research on Obama care. It pays but make sure u know the plan inside and out b4 u chose it or go to specialists

I also have UHC. I had the 6 month diet also. It only took them 2 days for the insurance to give approval after they got clinicals from my doctor. Once you get approval it is up to your doctors office schedule. I am waiting to see if I can get in this year. I have had approval for a week. I am on the affordable care act insurance and I was told that my plan will not be available next year. So I still have fingers crossed for December.

Congrats

@ Gpmed yes I have on multiple occasions. Today I was told first come first serve. No exceptions. And I would not ask for them to put me in front of anyone else. I would just like a yes or no so that I would know if I need to find another doctor quickly to take out my gal bladder and fix hernia. But I am not getting that. I did get that there are some spots in December but I would have to wait my turn to find out if I can have one. I was even asked would I have bariatric coverage on my next policy. How will I know that until I am able to select one and if it has coverage then it does. But it still don't change that i can not afford the expense of it again ???? wish it was diff and didn't matter. But it is what it is. And I have to accept that. It's not that I gave up because I want to give up. I have gone as far as putting my truck up for sale this year to get what I needed for surgery and a diff vehicle in its place and well if u know any Texas girls you know that their trucks are the last things they give up. ????

It's really not the time being the problem. It is the financial situation and insurance situation.

Jeraycitygal, I am not giving up that easy. Nothing about this has been easy. But yes it is over if I can not get in this year. I have waited more then 10 years to have insurance that would cover this surgery. I actually started with a diff practice then my insurance didn't cover them any longer. So I changed to the practice that I am with now. I have done everything required and have my authorization. Then I get a letter to get ready to chose another insurance plan from the market place. I called and they directed me to the insurance company. My insurance company stated they will not be offering my policy next year and that no platinum plans will be offered. And so I asked what was going to happen with my approval. Well I was told it was no good for 2016 just as suspected. So no platinum plan means night deductibles and out of pocket max. Something I can not afford after living on one income for the past two years. The outbid pocket max is paid this year. I can not find anyway possible I can financially do it. So yes I will just have to stay fat. But I can possibly find a doctor to fix the hernia and gallbladder before the year is up. I am sure that I am not the only one that is in this position. And those that have the money to not give up your dream. I am super happy for you. But that is just not my case. But I do thank you for your constructive criticism trying to get me not to give up. But for me this was the last shot.
