My last week in a Nutshell
My youngest son fell ill after having two head injuries at school and we spent some time at the doctor’s office and at the ER but his head seems to be ok. He was throwing up a lot and they just wanted to make sure. Then I got sick and was throwing up and running a fever. So I had to go to the ER and then spent a couple days passed out in bed until whatever I had passed. Not a very fun week and it made for no posting on this website but I do have exciting news!
I just spoke with the surgeon’s office again and apparently my insurance no longer requires prior authorization for weight loss surgery. Wouldn’t that have been a nice thing to tell someone?! But that does mean that I am completely cleared for surgery and I am now on the wait list. Basically once insurance is cleared they put you on a wait list until the scheduler actually schedules you for a surgery date. My surgeon not only does weight loss surgery but does a variety of other surgeries as well so only a percentage of his surgery spots are for weight loss patients. Once the spots on the schedule open up then they will call and set up surgery date. The general word in the support groups is that it is about 2 weeks or so before you get your surgery date. Sometimes it’s a little longer and sometimes it’s a little shorter. So I am just waiting to hear my surgery date! I am pretty excited and over the course of whatever flu bug my son and I had I have lost about 7 pounds as well. At least there was some good things thrown in there with the bad this week.
