I Have Been Approved!

March 21, 2012

I finally found out late today that the insurance company has approve my surgery!  No 6 months of extra supervised weight loss!!!!!

I also completed my Sleep Study last night.  I was diagnosed with Severe Sleep Apnea.  Last night was the sleep over with using the c-pap. 

I have to do two more things yet - 1) get the results of last nights study read by the sleep Dr. and sent over to CareLinc so that I can get my c-pap machine. ( I have to have this and be using it before surgery)  2) I still have to get my Vitamin D level up.  Today they told me to start taking the 10,000IU of D that I am currently talking, to start taking that 3 times a day.  The PA says it will take a month to get me to the level that Dr. K. wants me to be for surgery.  Why they didn't have me taking this amount from the start, I don't know.

I don't have a surgery date as of yet.  I know Nettie was also waiting to hear from the insurance company too.  Hopefully, she will be in contact with them soon and we can get something scheduled.  I will call her tomorrow to let her know what I have found out, not sure if she can schedule anything based on just what I know or if she needs to talk to the insurance company directly.  Either way it is going to take 2-4 weeks to complete the two things that I need to do yet any way.  So my guess is that I am looking at a surgery date of late April to the first part of May.

I am just so relieved that I don't have to go thru the medical weight loss part!!

On to the next steps...
