So I have been really down in the dumps waiting what seems like an eternity for my Drs office to submit my stuff to insurance. Its been three weeks! Granted we have had the holidays and snowpocalypse in Indiana. I was getting so frustrated because I had been diligent in completing all my requirements over several months. Anyways, I finally spoke with the insurance coordinator at my Bariatrics center today! Hallelujah she was sending it out today and told me my insurance was very good to work with and that I may get an answer within a week.

Its getting real!! I'm trying not to get ahead of myself, however I realize I am a whisper away at this point! I'm sure I won't be this excited while I'm working on my preop diet, but yay!

Finally the silver lining in my clouds of late.

I know what you mean. My insurance has been submitted but I haven't heard a word. I am on the pre-op diet and very ansy to hear something. You're right... it seems like an eternity to hear something. One thing about this entire process ... one must have lots of PATIENCE. Any day now we will be hearing the word "approval" from our doctors' offices and then we will be on our way to a new and thinner life. Stay focused. We'll be there soon.

      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?
