mHealth anyone?



Recommended Posts

Hi all! I'm in Houston and had a huge letdown yesterday when the surgeons office told me I had a 3 month waiting period, per my horrible insurance company. mHealth is the worst insurance I've ever had!!!!!. Anyone have a work around for this! I cannot wait 3 months! I finally see a light at the end of the tunnel but now is further away. I know you know how I'm feeling. I'm thinking I will pay out of pocket. Any advice????

I also had a three month waiting period. I used the time to go to group, work on my low carb diet and prepare mentally as well as physically. I found it went by fairly fast but now I wouldn't trade that time for the world.

Remember either way this is a marathon not a sprint.

I was told 6 months and now that I have had my psych eval it might take longer. I don't have that insurance either.

I have made the decision to pay out of pocket. I look at it as an investment in my future. Now I am in control and making the decisions. NOT the insurance company.

      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?
