Hi from Ohio.. Insurance question



Recommended Posts

I have United and just had paperwork submitted a few days ago and was wondering how long it took others to get approval. I am so excited and nervous at the same time and find myself being a little impatient

Still waiting on insurance approval

I have United Healthcare and it took less than two weeks to get a reply after all requested docs (from UH) were received.

Surgery was surprisingly not bad. On a scale fo 1 to 10 my pain was a about 3. I wore loose clothes and no jewlery of any sort to the hospital. I was only in recovery 2 hours after surgery and then was sent home. Yesterday (4 days post op) was my worst (and only bad) day so far. I had dry heaves and gas pains from the surgery. I used Gas-X and a heating pad to help releive the gas pain. This morning I feel like a new woman ... hoping the gas pains are finally gone for good.

      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?
