AmyD102 95 Posted June 28, 2016 My insurance received my paperwork today, they said I should have an approval/denial in 5 business days! Can't wait to actually have the surgery scheduled, having a solid date would make it "real" !! Sent from my SM-G925T using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LizHobbs 27 Posted June 28, 2016 My doctors office called the insurance even before he would see me and when it was approved I started the treatment 6 months ago.I am curious to find out about the hospital bill. Do I have to pay when I get admitted to it or on my way out? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
100lbs2g0 14 Posted June 28, 2016 I'm hoping for August. I'm traveling overseas for a wedding in October so it's either August or November. Just started this process and won't even get approved until August so I'm hoping for a miracle Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trekker954 421 Posted June 28, 2016 I've just had a ton of work travel. Cleveland clinic florida has been patiently waiting for months for me to be here long enough to recover. Need an update clearance from my primary July 12, my pre surgery visit with surgeon Aug 5 and surgery august 10. It's all planned now. Can't wait. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GoingRogue 53 Posted June 28, 2016 Had my pcp appointment today and I'm down 5.6 lbs this month. They puts me at 20.something in the last 2 months. I've got 8 more lbs to go before my surgery and at least a month and a half to do it in so I should be fine. Best advice I can give for pre-op patients is don't wait until the 2 week diet or the surgery to start changing your eating habits. I do 2-3 Protein shakes/drinks a day and a low carb dinner. I've bee doing this for 2 months now. I have seen far far too many people flipping out when the 2 week diet time comes and not sure if they can do it and cheating. I think it's best if we prepare ourself physically and mentally. I've also gotten to try many Protein products and know which ones I do and don't like.
