Waiting on my clearance papers and hopefully get approved



Recommended Posts

Hello all...im currently 25yrs old. Im 5'2 and weighing in at 220. I am so frustrated because Ive been calling my doctors office to see if all my paper work have been received and they tell me "were working on it" then she tells me that she'll call me if i get approved. Am i the only one nervous...impatient? I have husky insurance and i hope they approve me. Any Connecticut sleevers or potential sleevers ?

No I am going through the same thing! I was denied the Friday before my surgery date! Now I waiting again for approval! I feel like there is nothing I can do but wait! I can't sleep, I didn't even eat for 2 days I was so upset! I completely understand what you are going through! Good luck!

I have united Heath care optimum and they told me I was denied because my doctor and his hospital was not a Uhc approved center of excellence. When I first started 6 months ago with the doctor they took care of everything and told me what I had to do. I did everything including packing my bag for the hospital then got the call. So my suggestion call the insurance company yourself and make sure for yourself what you need to do!

      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.
