so, my doctor submitted everything to my insurance for pre-certification on March 1st. Yesterday, I called the insurance to verify that it had been recieved and it had but it was in "Pending" status. Yesterday evening my doctors office called and left me a message to call them back. I work overnight so I didnt get the voicemail til very late last night so I havent called them back to see what's going on. I'm nervous and my anxiety has got me in a whirlwind of emotions because my doctors office was hesitant about submitting everything anyway due to me not having a weigh in in november for my 6 months because the office I do the weigh ins at were closed due to the holidays. I had called insurance about it and they said to have the doctor doing the weigh ins write a letter explaining it was a scheduling issue on their behalf due to the holidays and that they saw me within a week of when my normal time to see them was.

Let's just say my anxiety has gotten the best of me and I have gone into full panic attacks because of not knowing if i will be approved or not because of the above issues. I try to look on the bright side and tell my self that the call I recieved could be great news and that I shouldn't worry so much but me giving myself a pep talk hasnt been working lately.

How do you guys deal with your anxiety?

Yes, it is probably them calling to schedule your date. Try to keep yourself busy tonight and call them first thing in the morning.

      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?
