The insurance dropped the ball...



Recommended Posts

The insurance coordinator/surgery schedualer from my doctor's office just called me. She said my surgery would have to be moved from Dec. 6 to some time after the first of the year because the approval still had not came through. She said every slot from today through the first part of January was already filled with pre-approved clients. I was actually relieved. I have been stressed to tears for the last two days trying to get an answer out of the insurance. I knew I only had 3 weeks left until my date and I still had another Dr. Appt., a class, and my liquid diet; not to mention my fees which are $400 and non-refundable! When I told her it was ok, she was more relieved than I was. She said that she had been dreading it all morning because most people either cry or bite her head off. We looked the calendar over and decided on Feburary 14 for my surgery date. What a fitting day! Each year I can have my own personal Valentine-I-Love-My-New-Life-Surgiversary celebration. It is going to cost me a bit more, because I will have to pay my 2012 insurance deductible. But any who, I am going forward. It will just be a few extra weeks..:0P

Awesome attitude! I'm afraid I would be one of those who cry a whole lot.

Cheers to a very happy valentine's
