On to the waiting game



Recommended Posts

I completed my 6 month diet yesterday. I lost 15 lbs. It was submitted to insurance today! Now 2 week wait for insurance response. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

@@Flygirl123 There is a really good chance that it won't take your insurance company 2 weeks to respond. Once my paperwork was submitted, my insurance company (United Healthcare) responded in less than 36 hours.

Take this time to learn as much as you can on what your post surgery life will be like. It will make the time go faster, and you'll really be glad you did.

Best of luck on your journey!

Thanks for the encouragement. I also have United health care. Wow that would be awesome if I got a response that quickly! I wasn't looking forward to the 6 month wait. But it did give me time to start making the needed changes for life post sleeve.

The waiting is so frustrating! Hopefully your team is a lot more efficient than my team and they don't sit on your case for weeks because they are just inept.

Have you heard anything yet? That's awful. She said she submitted to insurance the same day I faxed her the form from my dr. She emailed me to let me know. So thankfully, I believe she did submitted it. I thought it would take a couple of days but I guess not.

Hi I was told it would be a couple of weeks for approval and I was approved the next day. Don't worry your hard work over the last couple of months will pay off.

      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?
