I'm being a nuisance



Recommended Posts

I have called my insurance carrier everyday....sometimes twice a day...trying to see if I have been approved or not. Everyday they tell me to keep waiting. I know they keep a log of when we call and what answer is given so I hope they don't think I'm a nuisance. But damn!! I really need to know! vIt's been 20 days since they got it and 13 since they've reviewed it. They ssaid 15 days to get a decision and 30 to get it in the mail...my goodness!!!

You just keep on being a nuisance. It is too easy for them to 'forget' you if you're not a nuisance.

I hope you have good news from them soon.

I think you should keep calling. Let them know you are out there and your not giving up!

Keep calling, maybe they will hurry up so they don't have to hear from you any more! Good luck, I am hoping for my answer tomorrow from BCBS

Nope, you're not being a nuisance. It's the squeaky wheel that gets the oil! Stay on top of them. Best of luck to you!!

I'm right there with you; I call at least every 2-3 days. My problem isn't the insurance company yet; my Dr hasn't gotten my packet out. Although I have to admit that I keep having tests that end up further supporting my surgery. Every time it's close to going out, another test result comes into my surgeon's office.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
