My last appointment was with the psych doctor on 2/6/19... It’s officially been a week since that appointment..
Last step I was advised was submitting to the insurance company for approval.
I called the office that Friday & this Monday 2/11/19 to see if things were submitted yet but was told they were still waiting on the paperwork from the psychiatrist.
I can’t lie I’m already going crazy wanting to see if things have even been submitted yet.. let alone approved..
Im telling myself to calm down & wait.. I’m trying to at the least give it 2 weeks but geeeezzeee
Why does the waiting seem so long?
I just want to know the verdict but then idk how I’m gonna take a denial..
I’m trying to stay positive and so far so good it’s just the waiting is so frustrating.. I’m nervous, excited and scared all at once..
Thoughts of getting that call for approval, setting the surgery date, starting my pre op diet, to the losers bench, to baggy work pants, to smiling again, to onederland... oh my.. lol
But it’s still just the beginning..
Glad I’ve made it this far & praying it’s not all for nothing..
The waiting game seems so long..

It'll be over before you know it. Hang in there and be patient. We've all been there and we've survived. 🙂

      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?
