Insurance approval date??



Recommended Posts

Is it going to be your last diet class? I have my last diet class on July 27th but I am scheduled for my pre-op teaching class tomorrow. I don't have a set surgery date right now. My tentative date is August 21st. I still have to wait for my insurance to give the approval. I am scheduled to see the surgeon for a final time on August 16th. I also saw an appointment was scheduled for my pre-admission call on August 17th. So I am hoping this means I am on track for surgery next month. The liquid diet starts usually two weeks before your surgery date. Hope that helps.

I have 2 diet classes to attend, but they said they will give me my tent surgery date at my last dietician appointment (I have 3 all together)...I would call your coordinator if you have any questions-good luck!

      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?
