So, I was denied again by TriWest!

I was told that 10 other people were as well in the same office!

Umm yeah, TriWest will no longer be the insurance for the military as of April I was told....Hmmmmm!

Hey!! Maybe the new insurance will cover it and ya know, actually approve this for you come April!?!?! At least you were able to find some kind of explanation, I think I would've driven myself crazy trying to understand and figure out "why not?"

Yes, United Health Care won the contract and they take over in April....hopefully it will be easier to get wls surgery with the new insurance...I really hope so..

Crystal, that's what I'm so afraid of....NOT being covered! But I need to stay positive, I NEED this surgery like years ago!

Karen, do you have TriWest? I just found out that Brian is no longer there? UGH, he did my last Peer to Peer!

You've got a great attitude girl! Keep it up, good things are coming!! May not know the reasons why it hasn't worked out yet, but I promise ya its with some purpose...maybe your new coverage will be better than what you have so it will turn out to benefit you more in the long haul?? From what i've seen on here you are always so upbeat and positive...don't let this get you!! And I understand needing it years ago...it took me so long to wrap my mind around actually doing this...but now that I see it as the tool and help that it is...I have been having to practice extra hard on patience cause its like c'mon already....couldn't we have done this like yesterday!? Hang in there girl...

Obamacare created an entire new bureaucracy called ACOs. Accountable Care Organizations. They work with doctors, hospitals, clinics to keep healthcare costs down. Expect less and expect to pay more. Just sayin.

I totally hear you, TMF! Just awful!

Karen, I'm going to send you a message.

Crystal, thank you so much for making me feel better! Words really do go far!

XOXOXO

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
