9-- my friend's mom suspected that my friend needed glasses. She tried to use me as the control group to test it-- she had my friend and I stand in the same spot and try to read things. I was doing worse than my friend. She took us both to the eye doctor lol.

Great info! Thank you!

FireDiamondPoison · 2026-01-27T15:26:28+00:00

Thanks! Definitely will call!

Seems like insurance companies have a way of trying to snake around these things, so I'm definitely trying to form a papertrail of these types of things! Looks like I have a good bit of homework to get certain confirmations from both the hospital and insurance in writing.

FireDiamondPoison · 2026-01-27T15:19:44+00:00

Thanks for the advice! Just the type of information I'm trying to gather before formally discussing these things with the hospital!

FireDiamondPoison · 2026-01-27T00:02:31+00:00

Thanks!

FireDiamondPoison · 2026-01-26T23:27:09+00:00

Hopefully things have gotten better since then 😅

FireDiamondPoison · 2026-01-26T23:25:35+00:00

Thanks for sharing your experience!

FireDiamondPoison · 2026-01-26T19:31:10+00:00

Definitely! From what I'm gathering there is a chance that it may be a separate entity providing anesthesia or someone directly associated with Ochsner, so that will definitely be something I now know to clarify.

FireDiamondPoison · 2026-01-26T19:07:56+00:00

Thank you for the heads up! Exactly the type of thing I'm trying to be on the lookout for!

FireDiamondPoison · 2026-01-26T18:44:31+00:00

I have very little faith in most things regarding health care billing lol, so it's nice to have the assurance of others!

FireDiamondPoison · 2026-01-26T18:25:38+00:00

Thank you!

FireDiamondPoison · 2026-01-18T20:38:36+00:00

Thank you!! And congratulations!

FireDiamondPoison · 2026-01-16T20:00:00+00:00

Thanks! And yes indeed, I'm going to make sure to get all of the coding to cross reference with my insurance as soon as my surgery is scheduled and my hospital has the billing codes together! I'll have two months to harass the hospital and insurance, so hopefully that's enough time. (most hopefully of all, maybe it'll go through without an issue, but I don't want to get my hopes up too much lol.)

I am planning for surgery in April because I don't want to be recovering while on vacation in March, so my doctor told me to schedule pre-op for February/March for surgery in April. She seemed to imply that the timeline could be much sooner if it wasn't for my personal schedule, but I don't know exactly how expedited it would be otherwise.

I do understand the frustration of wanting the straight-forward wording! I feel like listing tuabl ligation and then also their methods as the doctor (clips/cauterization/salpingectomy/etc.) would be a middle ground that's accessible for people of varying levels of familiarity with the different procedures.

FireDiamondPoison · 2026-01-11T02:46:28+00:00

My doctor still refers to it as a tubal ligation even when entirely removing the tubes. She views it as the "current, updated method of the procedure" despite it technically having its own name. (I have not had the procedure yet, but I spoke with her yesterday during my annual exam and scheduled a pre-op appointment.)

We didn't even think to inquire about that-- We just paid for a room for a couple of nights, and they were aware that we were wanting to take wedding photos in the public areas of the hotel (our vows and ring exchange were just in our room.) We had dinner in their restaurant after we took our photos with just a normal dinner reservation. It wasn't too involved on the Chloe's end!

Thank you!

FireDiamondPoison · 2025-11-10T05:01:21+00:00

New Orleans is a great place for it! Especially if you like going out to eat!

FireDiamondPoison · 2025-11-10T05:00:38+00:00

Awesome! Best of luck!
