Insurance-someone got hit with the stupid stick!



Recommended Posts

Hi Guys,

Venting and giggling a little.

Jumped through all of the hoops that my insurance required, got the AOK from them to proceed, had my surgery Feb. 20th. Seems simple right----wrong!!!

Get home last nite and there is a letter waiting for me from Healthcare Recoveries a company that specializes in reviewing claims from accidents and injuries to see if someone else should be responsible for paying instead of my insurance company---accident or injury?? HUH?

So I call the lady today and she says "we are trying to find out if the back pain you were treated for on Feb. 20th was the result of an accident."

Accident?? Back pain?? What the f*ck are u talking about I had lap band surgery:scared2:!! Unless you consider the fact that I'm fat an accident, and hey I sometimes believe it was, woke up one day and saw my huge arse behind and believe that someone put it there by accident, but other then that then no, no accident here.:biggrin:

Little miss insurance lady didn't know what to say to that, hehe!! Other then "Well OK mam we will notify your insurance company, and I hope your feeling better soon"

Gotta love american health insurance:thumbup:

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
