Frustrated about sending paperwork to Ins



Recommended Posts

Ok...I am new to all of this. I just had my surgeons visit last thursday and have all documents and records have been given to the surgeons office. I am anxious, as I sure many of us have been, to get this info to Tricare so that I may hear those magical words of "approval" for surgery. I just wander how long it takes for most offices to finally send the info out to the insurance compant so they can start their long process. At this point I can't even get a returned phone call from the office. Very frustrated and anxious.:wink:

Hey fireman,

Ahh I rember the same feelings, " are they doing there job" why dont i just send it in" whoc an i call and confirmt hey recieved fax" - you know what though keep in mind your doctors office wants you to get this done. not just because hes your doctor but guess what its still a business and they still want to get paid.

So trust that you went thru the steps and have some faith everyone will do what they have to do.

I was very proactive as well in making sure they recieved my faxes and my end of the paperwork but try and keep busy and when you hear "your approved" youll find other things to be anxious about.

Ha atleast i had. Im going to be banded on the 29th of June.

good luck!

I know how you feel because I have Tricare as well. My doc office was really fast about sending it to Tricare. My doc office got all my paperwork on Friday and sent it to Tricare on that Monday. I was approved by Tricare that same Thursday. I hope nothing but the best for you.... Jennifer

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
