I am two days away from surgery - have not lost much on the pre op liquid diet - probably just flooded haha

Our insurance just changed at the beginning of the year , and so that has thrown a wrench in everything - and we are still waiting on an pre auth -

I feel like everything is hurry up and wait - and I may have tortured myself for no good reason if they deny surgery

I have my post op diet box all set up - cook books ready - chopper on hand - I have an awesome support system - they truly are the only reason I have not imploded by now -

This is me just trying to find light at the end of the tunnel and a pattern in the chaos

That same exact thing happened to me before my sleeve surgery. I still got approved easily but our deductible went up.

hang in there. It will all work out.

Good Luck! I know how you feel. The same thing happened to me in 2005... I finally did it on my own last year.. I hope it didnt change too much. In my case i put it on hold for work purposes and then in 2005 they didnt cover it at all anymore.. I was fuming but tis ok. I am determined and it took a long time but finally got it done and do not regret it at all.

      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?
