Bummed Out Day Yesterday



Recommended Posts

I'm still waiting, my tentative date is January 16th. I called the insurance on the 19th and was told I was approved. The surgeon hadn't received the authorization yet so I called again yesterday and was told she made an error and that my request for authorization was submitted for review on the 19th. I had a really bummed out day yesterday.

So now I have to wait a while longer to find out.

I was so excited that I was approved then she burst my bubble... I suppose it could be worse and be told I was denied... Keeping positive thoughts.

I just checked again and they haven't approved or denied so I'm going to continue the positive thoughts. They did however say they would decide today or tomorrow...

I'm with DL on this..the wait and uncertainty suck but fast forward and look back a year from now and all will be worth it. There will come many speed bumps along your journey and the best thing I learned during it all is to always remind myself...This too shall pass!

Good luck! Hope u get your answer soon :)

Thank you DL and ajustice, the worst thing can happen is I have to redo something. I'm feeling positive that it's all going to work out fine. My eye is definitely on the prize. I'm really looking forward to a year from now. Heck even a couple months from now. It's all still exciting, whatever the outcome it'll all be fine.

      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?
