Pam in MI 0 Posted August 20, 2007 :clap2: After "losing" my paperwork twice I was approved for surgery!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When the insurance co. finally received my paperwork (and with several calls from both my dr.'s office an me) I was approved in LESS THAN 2 HOURS! It happened Fri. afternoon so I have to wait until tomorrow to set my date. It will be very soon because I go back to teaching on 9/4. The dr.'s office knows this and is working with me to get it all going - maybe this week! Besides getting married and having my kids I have never been so happy!:whoo: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sbee 0 Posted August 20, 2007 Congratulations, I teach too and was hoping to be banded before returning back to work but oh well. My papers should be headed for insurance so we'll see. Congrats again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pam in MI 0 Posted August 20, 2007 One thing I learned is to call to make sure your insurance company has your paperwork. Even though my dr.'s office had two fax confirmations, the paperwork was MIA twice. If I had been more persistent then I'd already be banded, but that's my nature.

jennigan 0 Posted August 20, 2007 Congratulations, Pam! I am also a teacher and had all but given up hope that I would be able to be banded before school started until I got the call on Wednesday that they were scheduling me for 8/27. It will give me exactly a week to recover before heading back. I hope it will be enough time. I don't really want to start the school year off feeling lousy. Good luck!!
