CAN IT GET ANY WORSE?



Recommended Posts

I was scheduled to have surgery on 06/25/14 but had to cancel because I am anemic and my hemotolgist said NO!!!! Not till we find out why I am anemic...I was all ready to go in my head and then bam! Now I call my Drs office to see if I can schedule surgery again which I did 07/28/2014...but here's the kicker my insurance co denied me Empire BC/BS said I was non compliant in what I ate... how the hell do they know what I put in my mouth. My ddoctor is going to talk to them have a peer to peer meeting and hopefully I can get approved for the surgery. I don't know how much more I can take...It seems as if I am getting bigger by the moment. I try not to eat but I keep doing it. Has anyone else been denied then approved? Please let me know. Thank you!

I'm really sorry to hear of the problems you're having. I was approved on my first time, but I wanted to offer some support. Keep trying, and don't give up. Perhaps the peer to peer will get you approved.

      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?
