So nervous! Words of encouragement?

[Champ715 207]

Hi everyone! I am almost finished with my 6 month supervised diet that is required by BCBS AL My general practice MD told me to print my medical records from my patient portal online so I have the 3 years of height/weight records that I need (Hopefully the surgeon's office will accept a printout). Realistically, I don't think I have any reason to worry that I won't be approved but my anxiety is getting the best of me lately. I am getting so close to being finished with all the requirements and my anxiety is making me a nervous wreck. I am either constantly worrying that I won't get approved or worrying that I will get approved but have complications. I have called both my insurance company and my insurance coordinator but haven't heard back yet (and it's been over a week). The waiting and not knowing part is the worst part for me.

Has anyone else dealt with similar feelings this close to surgery? I'm just hoping to find some words of encouragement from fellow patients.

Thanks in advance!

I am just starting the process, but I am sure I'll be the same way worring about everything. I don't think you have anything to worry about. It will go much smoother for you, if you try to look at the more positive things, like how much better you're going to feel in the end. I still have three months to go. Best of luck to you.

I am just finishing up my 6 months too! I was supposed to have my final NUT apt next Wednesday. When I went through my paperwork I realized that they had scheduled my 6 NUT visits each 4 weeks apart. So I would be short a week on my 6 months.... I just switched my appointment to the 26th....I didn't want to take the chance of insurance saying it had to be exactly 6 months and then be short just a few days! (So maybe I am getting a little crazy too!) I don't want anything to possibly be a reason they can deny me.

CLR715- we are in this together! we will both keep our fingers crossed.
