Waiting is bad, but not hearing anything from my surgeon in weeks is not fun. I just need to relax and keep my eye on the prize.

Are you waiting for ins approval? Or just waiting for the next step in your process?

Do you have a coordinator you could call on Monday maybe?

Once I got word my stuff had been sent to ins., I called daily. Glad I did, because they lost my stuff ..twice.

Try to relax over the weekend and have some peace knowing you'll make a phone call Monday just to get an answer to your anxiety!

They've heard it all, so no worries!

My surgeon has not submitted for insurance that I am aware of. I am in constant contact with my nurse coordinator with Optum health. My surgeon is a very good doctor with a very pleasant bedside manner, but his office staff cannot share the same accolades. Apparently his office does not assign or utilize care coordinators. So I will just relax and wait until my next appointment in November. All is well, just need to get this done before 2014, not sure how my company health insurance will change. Seize the moment.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
