Shawn Morrison 71 Posted April 15, 2013 Don't quit on yourself. That's the only person you hurt if you give up now. Think of all the effort you have put in. You can't make it if you really want it. I had a few insurance set backs but if you keep pushing you will make it through. Work with the doctor and see if there is anyone at the practice that helps with that stuff. Mine has a lady that works as a patient advocate to fight with insurance companies over this. Keep going and think about how much better you will feel when you drop the weight. 5 ashleep, Pixie Dust, Chellennunley and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
magpie30 187 Posted April 15, 2013 Please don't give up! I'm sorry you are having such a hard time with insurance, but keep fighting! This is your life and your health, isn't it worth it? I understand that you are completely fed up fight now, so take a few days to calm down and tackle that obstacle again until they give in! You deserve it, you are worth it! Think of it this way, if you keep fighting to get it, or give up the time will still pass either way, but if you keep fighting and win, you have something to show for it in the end. Please don't give up. 1 NORCALRN reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chitowngirl 886 Posted April 15, 2013 Usually doctors offices do not put you on the schedule until after you are approved. I would wait until you get your approval to schedule your date. 1 Newme48 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It all worked out in the end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Newme48 104 Posted April 16, 2013 Make sure it is approved. Then set your date. While you are waiting, practice not drinking with your meals especially 30 mins before and after. Make sure you have your foods stocked for post op. pamper yourself. You did all the work and research, please don't let someone's mistake cancel your desire to become healthier and happier. Good luck to you! 1 Pixie Dust reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
