Frustration - Playing the waiting game

So here I am - 6 months into this and still waiting on the insurance. Just got out of the hospital with other stomach and reflux problems. Doc's told me that weight loss would be a big help in taking care of this. You think the insurance would want to just pay for the surgery and get it over with instead of paying for a 5 day stay in the hospital plus loads of test that I know will cost a whole lot more than the cost of the surgery!

 

Got the first turndown letter so had to have more info submitted by my personal doc and the surgeon. Was really getting frustrated! Really went on an eating binge - I know emotional eating - went to a support meeting and feel much better now. Was even back at the gym before this last little hospital stay!

 

I guess you just have to play their little games - but it is really frustrating!!!!:rolleyes2:
