I’m currently on week five of my 4-8 week wait to hear from the insurance company. Anyone else waiting and want to commiserate with me?

I’m also waiting for other things in life to roll along so it’s a just a season of waiting for me right now, over all. 😝

Oh, I'm sorry to hear of your delay in hearing from insurance! I was told it would be four or more weeks for my insurance as well and my decision came back in 2 days. Now I'm waiting on the surgeon's office to call so we can arrange my pre-op visit to set my date. I think they do it on purpose to make sure that we're actually serious about the surgery and that it isn't just a passing phase or something.

I raise my glass of Water to you for your patience in waiting 5 weeks already!

Waiting is hard. Could you call your insurance company to check status and make sure it hasn't fallen through a gap? Good luck.

Well, I didn’t have to wait much longer! They called me this morning! I am approved. I just need to figure out when will be a good time to schedule it because my boss is out on maternity leave until March 9th. I will have been at my employer 12 months end of April and will be eligible for FMLA at that time. I don’t want to keep pushing it off though.

      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?
