Surgery Tomorrow!!!!!! OMG



Recommended Posts

My name is Maria, I am 26 years old, 5''7 and 295lbs.

I have my surgery scheduled for tomorrow at 8:30AM.

Im so excited, I have no idea what to expect, and I confess I am a little afraid of not loosing weight, I dont know why I feel like that !!!

since I decided to have surgery which was in November 2010, everything worked perfectly, and my insurance approved me on the same day the office sent my info.

If anyone looking forward to have surgery and need to know a good insurance to work with feel free to ask and send me a message.

Hope to get to sleep tonite !!!! LOL

So it only took you 2 months to get the insurance to approve you? My insurance spells out in the explanation of benefits what the criteria is but does not say anything about prerequisties. Is your experience with insurance typical? Thanks and good luck!

my first appointment with the doctor was november 14th... I had no insurance back in November.. i was going to be a Self Pay.. and thats when they told me about my insurance company.

So... I applied for the insurance and it was effective on December 1st...

in December i did all my appointments and they sent my request for surgery for the insurance on December 16th in the morning ... and the doctors office called me at 3pm and told me that i was approved.

So they said I was approved and asked me if it was ok to have surgery on January 3rd...

I never tough it was going to be easy like that .... Im so happy with my insurance..

And I had to do nothing , the doctor office did everything!!!

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
