Got my approval!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Recommended Posts

Woohoo! Happy Friday! I got my insurance approval yesterday afternoon (was home sick yesterday and didn't have my laptop with me)!! This was submitted on Monday morning, so I am really happy I got it back this soon!! The weird thing is, it would have been in the next day, but the pre-cert nurse needed to talk to my surgeon to ask a few questions, but it's all good! Keystone Health Plan East ROCKS!!!!

Next step--pre-op appointment on Oct 9 (could have been on Tuesday, but of course I have a very expensive class that day that my company is paying for and I can't miss) and from there I get my surgery date! The surgeon's office mentioned they are booking at the end of October, and they only do surgeries on Wednesdays, so I'm thinking that I might be looking at Oct 28 or Nov 4!!!

I hope the time doesn't drag until next Friday! I know I've waited this long, but I am just so, SO ready!

Good luck to everyone else waiting for approval!!!

      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?
