HEY EVERYONE!

OK, SO MY SURGERY IS SCHEDULED FOR AUGUST 27,2010. I HAVE BEEN APPROVED FROM MY INSURANCE, BUT NOW I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THE INSURANCE SAYING..

EFFECTIVE DATE: AUGUST 30,2010

EXPIRATION DATE: AUGUST 31,2010

I DONT UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT MEANS. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND IT SAYS THAT I HAVE TO HAVE MY SURGERY ON AUGUST 30TH, NOT BEFORE OR AFTER THAT DATE. IS THAT CORRECT? MY SURGERY IS ALREADY SCHEDULED FOR AUGUST 27TH THOUGH. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF I SHOULD BE WORRIED OR NOT? I ALREADY CALLED MY INSURANCE AND THEY ARE GONE FOR THE DAY.:)

I would say that's a mistake because insurance usually gives the expiration date of one year out. Call insurance...

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
