Disappointed but I live!

So I was SO EXCITED that today was my LAST weigh in for my insurance. THANK GOODNESS I asked the nurse did you send my last weigh in information to my Sleeve Dr? Well sure enough NO! So they filled out two today and I TAKE them to email. I told my Doctor I know you are busy so I will make sure to send them. She kept a copy just in case!

Anyway, I get to work and scan both pages and email. Waiting, waiting, waiting to get the email that they read my email. Finally, I called the Sleeve Doctors office and the lady that does the insurance is out for the week! Will be back Monday. I was SO HOPING she would send my info into the insurance today and I would get a call MONDAY with my surgery date. I asked the lady answering the phone can't anyone else send my info into the insurance company. She said no honey only Vicki can do that.

I'm just SO LET DOWN. This whole journey has been SO EMOTIONAL! UPS and DOWNS! I feel like I've had to fight with EVERYONE to get what I want! My Husband, my youngest Daughter, ( Oh and get this the Doctor TODAY told me my Oldest Daughter has talked to HER about her FEELINGS with me having this surgery!! I mean WHAT THE HELL! She told me she had a very good talk with my daughter!) doctors offices, and insurance company! I know I should have more patience but I just can't wait to be where some of you are. I mean, I read everyday and get so excited and can't wait to be one of you! I've lost a whole 14 pounds and I feel like a size 2 when I'm still a size 22. LOL I want to see how I will feel when I lose 100 to 150 pounds!

I'm just venting and I know others had to go through MUCH more then I'm doing but it is just SO DISAPPOINTING! My head HURTS!! LOL

Hugs your way!!!

The road to surgery is always full of ups and downs. Just know that you are not alone in that. Make sure you call Monday to get on her and make sure "Vickie" does her job!! ;)

Call insurance yourself and see what you can do on your end.. If you can submit everything then go for it.. If they only take it from the surgeons office then you have no choice but to wait..

Yeah, believe me, I feel your pain. My doctor moved offices in the middle of my collecting data. Do you know how hard it is to get records from a 70 year old crotchety doctor in the middle of a move? Let's just say, we were not each others' favorite people during that time. She went so far as to tell me I was on her "Pain in the Ass" list. :-)) So... yes, this stuff is always a pain!!! But you will get through it!
