So I just got a call this morning from my surgeons office. She wanted to tell me that she just spoke with my insurance and I have to meet some medical criteria before my insurance can consider (you notice how she said consider not approve or deny) me getting the LAP-BAND® surgery. I was so upset because I called my insurance twice to verify everything and they never told me that I had to go through a 6mos nutritional program and other testings (I knew about the testings but they were asking for other tests I'm like dang you want to check my a** too..lol sorry that was too much):mad:!! Uuuugggghhhh so irritated with them right now. So now I have to go through this nutritional program and now I'm worried that after I do all of this they'll deny me :mad:UUUUGGGGGHHH!!!! But don't worry I'm not giving up I've gotten this far and I'm not turning back so I'll do it all !! Health insurances are so funny they do everything in there power to not pay for your health care services, its like they want you to be close to death before they decide to pay for something:mad2:. But I will keep on keeping on and I wont let this bring me down. You know what let me stop right now I wouldn't be in this predicament if I hadn't of let myself get so big like this.:smile: I'll still move forward with my plans/goals just wanted to get this off of my chest before I start my day at work, everyone have an awesome day and thanks for letting me vent..lol :tt2:. I feel so much better.
