Greetings all! I've been reading the forum topics for some time now, and just got approved from my insurance company, so I figured, now that it's really real, that I better introduce myself. :rolleyes:

The path to get to this point has been frustrating, as the medical group I have been working with is going through a change, and just hasn't gotten their act together just quite yet. :blink: Here I thought the most frustrating and stressful part was going to be waiting for insurance approval.

Nonetheless, I look forward to sharing my experiences and look forward to reading everyone elses to help ease me through this whole process.

Thanks for reading!

Good luck to you too! Thanks for sharing.

After your Dr's office found out you were approved, how long did it take them to get back to you with a surgical date? I called my Dr's office and let them know I got my approval letter, but they haven't called me back to schedule anything. But it's also only been about three business days.

      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.
