This process is so frustrating sometimes...sigh

Jun 03, 2010

Well supervised diet visit #5 is done and over with...whew...but it's just a frustrating process!  I've gone twice to get my medical records (they don't have my copy nor have they forwarded the copies to my surgeons office) and it's been three weeks.  I'm going back in on the 15th when i have more time, and i swear i'm gonna sit in the waiting room until they have them ready for me!  That's what is really holding up this whole process because i can not make my PSYCH or NUT visit until they have the last two years worth of medical records to review, i FINALLY today got my medical neccessity letter, however, it's so generic a 5th grader could have written it.  I just hope that doesn't screw me out of being approved!  I still have quite a few things to do before August, but hopefully it will all get taken care of and I'll get my date for September.  I guess i need to look at the bright side of things, i truely only have 5 more appts to go to before we submit for approval!  That's a good thing.
