June 2013 Sleevers GROUP

[Museum-Mama 196]

So' date=' today was my last appt with my surgeon before submitting for insurance approval. Woohoo, right?? The psych has not sent her clearance in, but I emailed the assistant so I'm sure that will happen in the next couple of days. However, here's my "issue"...the nurse tells me today that they still need clearances for cardio, sleep, and upper GI. Seriously, woman...you're telling me this NOW??? All this time, I've been assuming (yes, I'm the ass in that equation) that I won't need those because I have no history of issues. They told me they always wait for the insurance company to issue the approval before they have the patient do those things, but I'm a planner!! I could have been getting ON this crap already! Arrrggghhh...it just makes me feel like I'm suddenly playing catch up or something. I know it's stupid, but it's just how I am. OK, the rant is over...we will now return to your regularly scheduled programming...[/quote']

I feel your pain. Just get the one test, they said. ...then suddenly oh one more thing.... im still waiting on a date and jumping through minor but many hoops.

Gah...sometimes I feel like it won't ever end! But it will...and then we will all feel better than we do right now.

I have to wait until the second or third week of May to do the testing...they need to be within 30 days before surgery...the orders are hanging on the fridge waiting.

Anxiously waiting !!!! So I have a folder with all the stuff I will be sending to insurance. I have all letters but 2 (primary doctor and psych eval) which I should receive in the next 2 weeks!!! I'm really nervous. Time is ticking and I'm really hoping for a June surgery. For all those going through the process along with me good luck on this journey our time is soon to come !!! Praying for a speedy trial lol this is all I can think about

I find myself over thinking as well. Looking up anything and everything I can and doing major research. The one thing I can still tell you is I feel I have still made the best decision I could have for my health. Not too much longer!! Hang in there!
