The waiting game



Recommended Posts

Ok may insurance consultant called today and told me all of my paperwork is in and she is going to submit my information to the nurse for a final review and then submit my information to my insurance. She said the next person I should talk to is the scheduling person to let me know the available dates. I told my insurance consultant my preference is the end of December while my children are on Christmas break. Hopefully this will be the best Christmas gift I have ever given myself :angel_smile:

I had the same issue with my surgeon's office. I finished everything Oct 1 and they did not turn in for approval until 10/19. The insurance company approved it on 10/21. Then they would not let me schedule until they received the approval letter which took less than a week. Once they received the letter, I am scheduled for Dec 1. I know it is frustrating, but it is worth it in the end. Good luck!!

I have my date, December 20, 2010. :teeth_smile: What a wonderful Christmas gift to myself. :angel_smile: I am so excited. The scheduler from my surgeon's office called yesterday and scheduled my date. I am so ready for my new life. It's kind of unbelievable that a year from now I will look and feel like a different person.

Congratulation ! That is great news. I am still waiting although I called and was told by the nurse case managers that they indeed have all the paper work. So I wait some more it has already been 6 months ... still hoping for my date of Nov 29.

      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.
