Can you guys please send some prayers, good vibes, good thoughts my way? I could really use them for my insurance approval. They want more and I don't have anything left to give them.

TIA

If you don't have any more records, try writing a letter. Talk about your history of being overweight and how it impacts your life. Talk about the physical and emotional challenges. Also talk about what you have done in past to lose weight and what you plan to in the future to ensure that this new tool (RNY) works for you.

It may help, it may not, but it can't hurt to try.

Good luck!

Thank you, all. It really means a lot to me to have such an amazing support group here. The majority don't understand and always judge and blame it on poor diet and exercise.

Ms Kb, I did write a 9 pages long personal letter to my insurance. I don't know how much of a difference did it make, though. I gave it to my bariatric coordinator together with all the letters of medical necessity I could "beg" for, from my old PCM, current OB/GYN, and current PCM.

I have to see my PCM next week for obesity counseling again, so she can provide me with the last insurance requirement. Time if so not on my side.

I am not losing faith. I witnessed way to many miracles in my life to give up now.

I will definitely be praying for a smooth approval for you...claim it, gather what you can, and leave the rest up to God.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
