Insurance you're killing me

[@lici@ 22]

I had received my phone call telling me I had been approved, on the 29th of October, however today I get a call telling me that yes they received the verbal approval but my letter has not been received. I too have not received this letter. I have sat on hold for over 45 minutes while they pass me around from person to person. Ahhhh... my surgery date is on the 17th. I don't not want to yet again postpone it due to insurance... so many emotions right now.... could use some prayers everything works out and surgery continues as planned.

Insurance can be a pain in the butt. Hang in there and it will all come together .

Hang in there! I got an approval email saying they were forwarding my records to the surgeon. It was probably another week after that before I got the official letter, and then a second week before I heard from the surgeon. There's a lot of waiting involved, but it's so worth it in the end!

I've done my waiting! 12 years in Azkaban!' Hahaha sorry channeling my geek

But I'm trying to keep my spirits up. Thanks everyone for your happy wishes.

@@tlowry I'm super sorry to hear that. I guess i shouldn't complain I don't know if I could wait 2 years. You probably have no sympathy for me. Hang in there though! Good vibes to you

@@taweedeegirl because the insurance wont round my BMI of 39.5 to 40 for years 2013-2014 and according to BSBC federal, I have to be of 40 BMI or greater (with no comordities). So Bluepoint has to submit my weight from 2014 and 2015 at the beginning of 2016. It's so frustrating....
