Phew....What A Relief, Approved!

[Susan66 128]

After 6 months of nutrition visits, a Dr supervised diet, and a Health Insurance carrier that filed bankruptcy & shut down on Nov 30th, my new insurance company just approved me! I can't even believe it. I'm so happy, relieved, excited and so very grateful to my surgeons office staff who have been so kind & helpful. ????

That's awesome, congrats and good luck!

So glad to hear you finally got approved. Do you have a surgeon date also? Good luck with everything.

I too have been waiting and waiting to get approval. My 6th visit with the WL Surgeon was Monday Nov 23rd. They submitted my paperwork despite the fact that I still had a breathing test and a stress test to do and am waiting the results of the stress test. The Surgeon leaves next week for his out of the country Holiday vacation. We are looking at Jan. I am sure that will be more money that I will have to give out and I am on disability.

Plus here I am today trying to arrange for someone to come out and look at my Hamar lift that gets me in and out of the house and is not working. Sorry to be venting on your thread but things aren't looking good for me this Holiday season.

Sorry to hear you got so much going against you! Try to keep your head up and know that what is meant to be will be. This whole process is like a roller coaster with lots of ups and downs and right now just feels like a down. Keep going 1 foot in front of the other and don't worry about the rest. Trust and have faith in God and watch him blow your mind. Take care

@@ssflbelle, Destiny is absolutely right, this process is quite the roller coaster ride. Complete with nausea and stress. Hang in there, I'll keep you in good thoughts that everything all comes together & you'll be approved very soon.

Sounds like you've been through a lot. So happy to hear you finally got your approval!

[ssflbelle 829]

Thanks Destiny and Susan- Your both so right. The Cardiologist just this afternoon cleared me. Now I need a blood work up again as Junes doesn't count any more for some reason. Once that is done the PCP hopefully will clear me and write out the medically necessary form. But surgery will still not be till Jan as the surgeon is going out of the country for the Holiday. I sent friends requests- I need all the friends and support I can get.
