Still Waiting !

[ThinnerMe2015 14]

Oh my goodness the sitting and just waiting on an approval or denial from Insurance company is killer. I have researched and read, and joined support groups and continue to read others journey stories, I don't think my head can hold anymore knowledge about Gastric Bypass. Therefore that leaves me with too much free time on my hands and my mind start rambling, oh for pete sake, can I get a answer already. I am ready to finish what little bit of the journey I have left as for my psych eval, and meeting with the surgeon I wish I could have had those appointments while I waited, would have been nice to get those cleared out the way then I could just been scheduled once approved. Well I got that off my chest I guess I'll find something productive to do. Good Luck to all others in the same situation waiting like me, I hope we all get that letter of Approval.......

I had to do my psych eval before i could be sent to the insurance company. They submitted my paperwork on wednesday last week and the insurance company called me friday and told me I was approved. Now the wait for the dr to return my call with a surgery date. I agree, waiting is a killer. Ugh

I feel the same way but I have been waiting two weeks for approval. I left my doctor's office a message to call me back so I can see if they heard anything yet. No one even called me back so I will call again in the morning. I am going to call everyday until they call me back. I still have a pre-op physical another visit with the dietitian and labs and meet with the doctor. But I wish they would hurry up and approve me already.

Oh wow Marissa we really are in the same boat...Lol I know once I do meet with the Dr. he's gonna be talking and in my head I'll be like yeah yeah yeah I already know...Lol I also watched the actual surgery on Youtube. Like you said I am already an impatient person, and this situation is working my last nerve for patience. Omg I pray we both get some good news and fast, cause we are over flowing with knowledge already.
