Information was submitted~ today



Recommended Posts

Well my surgeon's office submitted my information today for approval. I am soooo nervous!!! :smile: I have Carefirst BlueChoice (MD) and was told that my plan does not require the 6 month supervised weight loss only the letter of medical necessity. I had my initial consult on 4/17, physical and PCP wrote the letter on 4/28, Nutrition and Psych eval 5/18 and submitting everything today 6/1.

My surgeon's office actually schedules a tentative date for surgery prior to approval. Based on experience they believe the insurance company responds faster with a date. So if all goes well my surgery date will be July 2nd. I am so ready.

God if it's for me it's mine! :(

I'm actually all done with everything too and am now just waiting for the office to submit everthing for pre-approval! I'm hoping everything goes quickly. This has been a long process and I'm anxios to have the surgery done with! Good luck.

There was a delay in submitting my information. The surgeon's office did not have my referral. The referral was eventually sent today so they will submit to the insurance company tomorrow. I am really getting nervous now. :redface: Please don't let this be a sign.

Any encouraging words are greatly appreciated!

      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?
