Nerves are getting the best of me.....



Recommended Posts

My nerves are raw.... Still awaiting insurance approval and I have a surgery date of Feb. 9... Supposed to start 2 wk liquid diet in 2 days and have anesthesia consult in a week....I want and need this sooo bad....BCBS is gonna make be crazy yet.

I've been reading a lot of post on here and I'm grateful there is support out there... But I think I'm reading too much..... I can't seem to focus on anything but this surgery now and it's keeping me from sleeping too!!!! Arrrggghhh...

Calgon, TAKE ME AWAY!!!!

In Canada the surgery isn't covered we have to pay the whole shot. Good luck!

I won't be able to fund it without insurance.... So I'm praying they come through for me!

I am in the same boat...waiting for insurance approval. I won't receive a surgery date without prior approval from my insurance company. It is so hard to have patience with something so important. I am praying we both hear today!

I can imagine how you feel. I would probably be feeling the same way. I'm praying that all goes well while you're waiting (can be nerve wrecking). But just try to stay positive and if you can try to distract yourself as much as you can. Wishing you the BEST!!!!!

Oh, I have a battle ahead of me too!! I'm currently waiting for the doctor's office to get off their butts and submit to my insurance for approval.... then, after they do that, I'll have to wait in aggony again for the approval! At least your just waiting on the insurance co. Have you called them to find out the status? I have BCBS Fed and they are really good!!

It only took me 4-5 days to hear from my insurance. I have BCBS in IL and my paper work was submitted on a Monday and Friday afternoon, I called BCBS and they told me they just approved it :) I would call if I were you!

      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.
