Dr. Office has me Furious



Recommended Posts

I completed all of my requirements since July 10....WHY am I finding out today that my Dr office is still sitting on my file waiting submission. I could not believe it when she told me my file was gonna be submitted one day this week for approval, she had no excuse as to why they haven't sent off my paperwork, she only said that it takes up to 30 days for approval, which they had already told me that. So I called BCBSIL just to check and well, no paperwork submitted....I am just fuming!!!!!

I feel your pain. Boy, do I.

Eventually, it'll all work out. But nobody cares about it going fast nearly as much as you (and I) do.

I feel your pain. My doctor's office is slow as well. It took them a week to mail me my surgery date and pre-op diet. BCBS took less than a week to approve me so hopefully you can make up lost time. I was on a time crunch so it drove me crazy with holdups and I had a bunch. Keep thinking positive thoughts

I agree with VSGANN 2014, that it is not as important to them as it is to you. These delays are so ridiculous and unnecessary. My doctor sent mine in the day after my last appointment with him. BCBS Federal approved it in two days. So hang in there and stay on top of them. They expect certain results from you, so you should be able to expect certain standards of customer service.

Hopefully it will all be over soon. Hopefully the ball will get rolling quicker after your appointment on Friday. Good luck

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
