I had my endoscopy yesterday. I am waiting for test results to come back. My regular dr is writing up my letter I did everything else I was suppose to do. I m scared I ll get run around with my insurance. I don't know why just am. I hear so many horror stories dealing with insurance companies. I am having the bypass down due to my GERD and type 2 diabetes

Also having hard time losing weight. My family doesn't understand. Ugh. Anyone else felt this way before finding out ??

I’m scheduled to have the endoscopy procedure done next Friday [emoji51]. I’m very nervous about getting insurance approval as well, but from what my patient coordinator has told me there shouldn’t be any problems as long as I complete all of my requirements and don’t gain weight. Who is your insurance provider?

I am also getting my appointments together for an approval. I am also nervous due to it being close to the holidays. I don't need a endoscopy due to having a colonoscopy done early this year . Just need to attend nutrition class. And get some lab work done . Really pushing to finish everything this week or before the end of the month. Really want my surgery this year due to my job switching insurance next year. Keeping my fingers crossed 🤞🏾

Fidelis . I did call up the insurance and asked some questions. They said they go by whatever Dr says. I hope you don't run into any problems. I guess we just have to stay positive.

Good for you! I pray and hope you get your surgery this year. Stay positive. It's so tough.

      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?
