Surgeon Testimonial

David Dyer, M.D.
Two years out from surgery and have maintained a 140 lbs weight loss -- Dr. Dyer was great to work with in this process. His diet plan and maintenance plan is strict but it works if you follow it. The support of the office and staff was wonderful too.

OMG!
posted on 11/8/10 4:17 pm

This weekend for fun my daughter and I went to a psychic fair and had a reading done.  The lady told many things that were true but what you would expect.  So she wanted to know if I had any questions.  I asked her about the surgery and if I will have it on December 15th.  She said she did not see it happening because something was wrong with the paperwork submitted and she thought that they would come back with something else to do before approving the surgery.  She also said that if I have the surgery I will have complications that will require subsequent hospital/surgeries.  I was a little bummed but then you never know what to believe.  So I asked another psychic there what she saw and she saw the same thing.  But, she clarified that since I knew complications could happen that I need to do everything by the book before and after surgery.  That that is the information as they know it today but if I act on the information, then I can alter that -- free will. 

Soooo, I called the insurance company today to see if my paperwork had been received.  The representative said that no, it had not.  I asked him to check in again that I know she submitted it.  He said that she may have sent it to them but since my request was denied the last time, that it would have to go through the Appeals process and she would have to send it to a different department.  I then call the surgeons office to speak with Heather (the person handling all the paperwork since last year) -- now mind you,  I hand delivered the paperwork, I explained about the urgency to have this done correctly, she assured me that she would call that day to make sure they received it, and she was the one who told me that it didn't have to go through appeals -- I only needed to send over the updated information.  When she called me back, her comment to me was "that is why we don't schedule a surgery until the insurance paperwork is approved" --- Are  you bleeping kidding me?  I have spoken with this women every month or so for over a year.  She has worked with my carrier on this twice before.  She knows that my coverage changes and I probably will not be able to have this surgery covered after this year --- I did keep my cool.  Asked her to verify that it was received and now I am going to call the appeals department daily to see that it is reviewed.  Doesn't this women realize what she is doing?  That this is life changing and not something you mess around with?  URGHHHHH>>>>>>>

I am a big believer in God --- I do have a lot of faith.  I have a lot of thinking to do.  Maybe He doesn't want me to do this.....Maybe He's trying to tell me something.  I am just going to pray for guidance and patience.  God Bless!  Keep losing out there.
