Starting up again...



Recommended Posts

Well, I'm starting up again. Last year I was pre-approved by my insurance all I lacked was the psych eval and then we found out I was preggers.... So 7 Months after having the baby I'm starting the whole process again. I have to go to the seminar and turn in my paperwork again and try to get approved again with the insurance company. I'm hoping that it will go faster this time since I was approved last year. I am so ready to get the weight of having 3 kids off me ( plus those cheeseburgers I 've eaten over the past 20 years) I have my first Seminar on the 15th of Jan. I'm really hoping to be banded by this time next year if not sooner...

Congratulations on the new baby!

Hopefully things will go well with insurance and you will be banded in no time. Keep us posted.

Thank you :tongue2: I'm hoping that it won't take very long but we all know that insurance companies tend to drag their feet.

Congrats on the new baby! I was pre-approved last June and then had a major illness which prevented me from getting banded. When I called my surgeon's office to schedule my surgery after my illness, they contacted the insurance company for me and I was re-approved in a matter of DAYS, not weeks. Good luck and I hope your re-approval goes as quickly as mine did. I have my surgery scheduled for 1-27-09 and start the pre-surgery diet tomorrow. I'm excited.

      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?
