Authorization request to Insurance



Recommended Posts

I have officially jumped through all the hoops. Even the ones set on fire. :crying: My request for surgery has been submitted by my patient coordinator and now its a matter of waiting for the response. Please pray for me. I am excited, but also a little nervous. I keep thinking, "let's get this show on the road." but I am also thinking, what am I getting myself into. I just cleaned out my closet and find that I have so many beautiful outfits that I don't fit into, but didn't have the heart to give away. I am hoping I will be able to wear them soon. My rep told me to allow 2 weeks for the approval/denial process to complete. It is going to be a long few weeks.

Let me be the first (here) to congratulate you on all you've achieved. From my own experience, and what I'm reading here, getting to the place you're in takes a very strong commitment to the goal you've set for yourself. Here's hoping you get a speedy approval, followed by a successful and uneventful surgery!

Best of luck,

Dave

      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.
