Surgery is tomorrow, but still waiting for insurance to approve!

[kellyann53 5]

Hi, all - my sleeve surgery is tomorrow but we are still awaiting insurance approval. doctor's office keeps saying don't worry about it, but when you have to rearrange your whole life to make sure everyone is taken care of, that is kind of difficult! I am ready and want to get going with this!! Plus, I am a teacher, so my recovery time is the next two weeks before school starts - that's my entire window! Keep your fingers crossed for me and say a prayer that Horizon gets its butt in gear & says YES to my new start to a healthy me!!!

@@kellyann53 Have you talked to Horizon recently to find out what the delay is?? I'd be going crazy if I were you!!

Fingers crossed and prayers being said!

So funny - the office accidentally called me instead of another patient. She was about to hang up when she realized I was the wrong person, but she paused and said, oh yeah you are approved. So anticlimactic! But hey, I will take it!!!

I'm glad it worked out. I'm actually baffled that they scheduled you before getting approval from insurance first.
