Is this a test or a bad joke?
Jun 22, 2010
I am going through all my pre-op work this week. Labs, ECG, Pulmonary, etc. All this and I still haven't received my precertification approval from my Insurance. I feel a bit weird stating this in my last week before surgery, but I'm overwhelmed with the feeling that this is never going to happen. Depression, Sadness...Weird because I've been going through the physician / hospital search, surgery research, studied all the insurance requirements for coverage, completed my insurance's requirement of Multidisciplinary surgical preparatory regimen plus additional requirements from Mayo Clinic, requested and submitted 2 years of weight history, changed my diet, purchased protein and food for puree stage, and what someone from the insurance company just told me was "there's no big deal, your surgery isn't scheduled until the 28th" . No big deal???? Well when you have been doing all you can to change your life style, way of thinking, emotions about eating, and you don't know if you will be able to receive the tool you were working toward because someone else has the ability to hold it in limbo - it feels like a pretty big deal.
I'm sure things will work out and this post will seem ridiculous but right now it is just sad.
