Surgery is tomorrow, but still waiting for insurance to approve!



Recommended Posts

Hi, all - my sleeve surgery is tomorrow but we are still awaiting insurance approval. doctor's office keeps saying don't worry about it, but when you have to rearrange your whole life to make sure everyone is taken care of, that is kind of difficult! I am ready and want to get going with this!! Plus, I am a teacher, so my recovery time is the next two weeks before school starts - that's my entire window! Keep your fingers crossed for me and say a prayer that Horizon gets its butt in gear & says YES to my new start to a healthy me!!!

So funny - the office accidentally called me instead of another patient. She was about to hang up when she realized I was the wrong person, but she paused and said, oh yeah you are approved. So anticlimactic! But hey, I will take it!!!

I'm glad it worked out. I'm actually baffled that they scheduled you before getting approval from insurance first.

      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?
