Darn it! I have to wait 3 more months!



Recommended Posts

Second surgeon consult and my insurance rules changed! Lucky me now I have to wait 3 more months. She said she will try and submit it now and see what happens, but most likely I'm looking at Feb/March

Oh, this must be disappointing and frustrating.

I had to wait 9 months for my surgery. Instead of being sleeved last July 2015, I finally got sleeved March 2016.

My Surgeon's Endo found out I had Graves Disease (hyper-thyroid), and that had to be addressed first.

It took 9 months of thyroid treatments for it to be stabilised enough for this surgery.

Funny enough, the waiting time went really fast for me.

Hope yours goes quickly too!

I figure I was fat for 10 years going up and down... other that wanting what I want when I want it... really, what difference would 6months make.

Well these 3 months flew by, so hopefully the next 3 do! I had all my appointments though so that may be why the past 3 months seemed busy. Now I just have the NUT appt each month. Oh well! Everything happens for a reason. My time will come!

Goin told me they was goin to stop taking my insurance on the first of the year so I had to find some place else and start all over. Now I only have 2 appointments left and I hope it's worth the wait and all the hard work.

      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?
