SO...Surgery is scheduled for tomorrow but my Dr.'s office just called this morning and said that the insurance has not yet approved my surgery! WTF?! My program was over on the 3rd of August....so it should have been approved by now! I think they are frantically trying to call the insurance company today to see what is up.....I will be SOO pissed if my surgery is cancelled and rescheduled!

 

AND...to top it all off, my boyfriend is giving me grief about my decision to not tell my mother or my sister. My mother works as a medical records coder and right while I was beginning to look into it, she and my sister had this conversation about how she could never imagine why anyone would want to do this....with all of the complications, etc! I knew right then that I would NEVER tell her! I don't want her negativity to bother me. My boyfriend just doesn't understand why I wouldn't share something this big with him. I keep trying to get him to understand....but he doesn't. Today he threw out the..."what if something happens to you" card. I was like, "Nothing is going to happen to me....I'll be fine!" He was like, "This is surgery...anything could happen to you!" I told him that I'd cross that bridge if I got to it. He didn't really like that answer and told me he needed to get off the phone. He has been incredibly supportive of my decision to do this....but this has been a big issue for us.... me not telling my family about it. PLUS....they all talk a ton...and I don't want EVERYONE to know about it! This is very personal for me....and I don't need everyone's input on my decision. The decision has been made months ago....and will *HOPEFULLY* be completed tomorrow!

 

ACK....I do NOT need this stress today! :thumbup:

I am also not telling people right up front. - Only you know if its the right decision to tell or not. Like I stated in another post my husband once said surgery was for lazy people. So I know the boat your in. :) I guess we can paddle together.

I didn't tell my parent's either. My mom is a drama queen/hypercondriac and won't be supportive anyway. Somehow it will be about her. I also didn't tell my little brother. I will probably tell him eventually. He can make all the comments he want's since it's already done.

I told those that will support me and offer positive energy. My coworkers don't know.

I was not able to tell my parents either. It was a hard decision, but one I had to make for my success. They would not have been supportive, so I did not want to talk to them about it.
