Catawba Valley Medical Center in Hickory North Carolina Sent from my SM-G928T using the BariatricPal App Hey. How are doing? Just checking on you.. Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App Hey. Just checking on you. How are you? Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App How are you doing? Just checking on you. And everybody who had the surgery yesterday Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

Why so many. Is that because of your insurance? I only went to the nutrition once. I would say from July to now things went by quick. Once they had all my paper work and submitted to the insurance company it came back quick. Dr.Macik wanted to do the surgery this month but I had just transfered to another position in Sept and I won't be within my 90 days til Dec 7th. Plus the kids are out of school arounder that time so it all worked out for the best. Keep me posted. Hopefully it won't take long for your PCP to do what they need and send your stuff back. What type of insurance do you have if you don't mind me asking. Keep me posted on your process. Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

Have you decided to look at other surgeons in the area and also consider financial assistance with the hosptial. Sorry to hear that. I can ask my surgeon to see if bibs will approve. I know he takes all the insurance and they get people approved. Search for Paul Macik at Northside Hospital. Also check to see if Dr office offer a credit care card where you can apply for that. Also check into your flex spending acct too. Best of luck. Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

So my appointments are made I'm just waiting on the EDG my slip has already been faxed to the dr. Office. So I should be done everything mid Dec. So I think I'll get a date in January. Fingers Crossed Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G928A using the BariatricPal App Oh ok. I didnt have to do the 6mnths either. My insurance only required 4 months. I could have had the sleeve this month but because I had just transfer to another position at work my 90 days wouldn't be up til Dec 7th and I didnt want any issues. But it worked out.

Anndriar15 for sure. I would like that too.hopefully it won't take much longer with well care. Please let me know when you get a date. Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

They aren't suppose to do that. It's none of their business about the type of surgery you are having. It is medically necessary.of it wasn't why would you have to go thru the requirements to have the surgeon and your insurance to approve it. FMLA protects you and your job so if you have to be out more then the allowed time they can't let you go. Plus depending on your job and how HR is set up once your PTO is used up then it goes to Short Time Pay. They just doing what they want. I would have your surgeon to write a letter to HR dept and state that this medical necessary and that your date is set and you need this done. It's up to your manager to find coverage. It seems as if the manager or supervisor don't want to work. I hope all works out for you. Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

That's my date... sleeve Twins.. keep me posted... Do you start your Pre op on Dec 14th to? @@vegbeth Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

That's ok. We all should support eachother. Please let me know when you get a date. I would like for all of Atlanta Residents to keep in touch. Dr. Duncan is good. So you will be at Atlanta medical. I use to work their. You are good hands. What are you waiting on if you don't mind me asking? Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

Ok. I started the journey in July also. Tiffani and Dr. Macik are good aren't they? He is a mandatory with few words buy he answer all your questions and concerns.. what are you waiting on if you don't mind me asking? Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

My immediate boss,than call the HR to talk to me ,but I call Dol... because my boss and HR are working together Sent from my SM-G928T using the BariatricPal App They aren't able to do that. I work for a hosptial and I didnt disclose anything to my manager. You aren't supposed to. You go thru everything for a reason and if your insurance has approved it and your surgeon feels that you should have it then it shouldn't matter to them. I would re look into that. I applied for FILA and I have to call them back the day before my surgery so they can do what they need Sorry you have to go Thu this. Hope all works out for you soon. Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

Nice to meet you. Yes I'm looking forwarded to the procedure.. For sure we have to keep in touch, I would like to walk since that's what I will be required to do once I've been discharged and given the ok to start excerise. Take care of yourself and let me know when you come down.

I have the same issue. My BFF wedding is June 3rd and I've found the Dress that I like and she likes so I'm going to order it by Jan but in a 18. I'm in a 22/24 so I will wait til April to do any alterations at that time. I would ask David Bridal to mke sure the dress will be in that size and color and get it as soon as you can and do alterations in your current size or go down a dress size. Just something to think about. Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

Awww. Awesome. Lets keep In touch. It's nice to meet others who are going thru the same thing. But its even better when you have someone who has the same surgeon and going to the same hosptial. When do you start your 2 week pre op. How have you been since you got the approval. Tiffany is the best isn't she. We have to keep in touch.. Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

Hello!I just went to see Dr. Macik for the first time on Monday. I thought he seemed really nice! I cannot wait to get further along in the process. How has your process been? Have you had your surgery? I think Dr. Macik is great. Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App
