Is Anyone Scheduled, But Not Yet Approved?



Recommended Posts

I'm scheduled for 12/16, but not yet approved by insurance. I spoke to the coordinator today, and Wednesday is my drop-dead date to get the pre-op class and appointment w/ surgeon in before Monday. She said she might be able to get me in on 12/23, but I'm still in the same boat. Puts more of a damper on Christmas, but works better for my out of pocket stuff since it's the end of the plan year.

Hi, I am waiting for approval as we speak. The paperwork was submitted to my insurance on 12/06. My insurance says they have 5 days to reply (the latest is Friday). I am so stressed and have so much anxiety I can't eat (imagine that). The suspense is killing me, I hate waiting! Good luck with your approval. Hopefully you hear back soon.

Found out yesterday I am approved. Talk about a nail bitter! Today was the last day for them to authorize before Monday's surgery.

      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?
