Insurance Papers



Recommended Posts

I'm so happy :crying:.. I finally have everything needed for surgery. I just faxed all my information to the Drs. Office and I' m hoping that they will have a quick turn around submitting everything to the insurance company. OMG has this been a process. You can't imagine how many times I've been on the brink of just screaming :mad: because of this process, but all in all it was well worth it .. I swear I know I gave them more than enough information so hopefully the doctors office won't drag and the insurance company will get back soon. I'm going to give them (insurance company) 10 days before I start calling them.. I will probably put them on my cell phone as a speed dial :lol:... they better not mess with me.

Okay just wanted to share...

good luck on your approvals. I started calling everyday from the time that my paperwork was sent off. I mean everyday sometimes twice a day ! It took 2.5 weeks for approval. It would have been less but they lost some of my info. It will happen for you!

That's what I did! I called the afternoon the insurance person at my surgeon's office said she faxed it. I called and emailed every day. It took 6 days! I am now just waiting for surgery to come. Good luck on your approvals! Aprilapple, good luck on your surgery Tuesday!:thumbup:

Well I called the insurance company today and low and behold that secretary at the doctors office has not even sent my paperwork yet. Can you imagine how pissed I am right now :thumbdown:. So of course I used my professional voice and called the doctors office and she said "Oh I'm waiting for the nurse to tell me this everything" granted this is the samething she said Thursday when I faxed. So she was suppose to call me back once she talked to the nurse..that was 9:30 am this morning and by 2:20 I called back..and of course she hasn't had a chance to talk to the nurse because he is in clinic all day, but she assured me she would call me before the office closed today. How much you want to bet she didn't call me. So first thing tomorrow morning who will be the first call she will receive.

Doesn't these people know how hard it was to do this six month weight managment to just sit on my paperwork.

Sorry for being so long.

      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. 🤞
