Insurance Troubles

Jun 03, 2009

I got a phone call from the doctor's office today telling me that the insurance denied me. I dont understand at all because i meet all of the requirements and i did everything that i was supposed to do in order to get approved. So the nurse went over everything and re labeled and rechecked everything to make sure it was correct and sent it back in to the insurance. I am so upset because i have been looking forward to this so much and you just assume that you're going to get approved if you meet all the requirements.  I mean there is really nothing else that i can do to get approved. i am just hoping and praying that they will see that i have done everything and i do meet the requirements and approve me. i want this more than anything in the world and if i get denied again then i am gonna be so depressed. this really sucks. it might be stupid of me but i've been crying for the past hour because i'm scared i wont get approved. Did anybody else get denied the first time and then get approved?? i dont know much about the insurance part so could anyone give me some info on why they do this>? Should i get approved the second time around or is it just a hit or miss?

Waiting For Insurance to Approve Me!

May 28, 2009

Alright!! I have finally completed everything for my insurance after seeing a dietician on tuesday and now I'm just waiting for the insurance to say yes or no. Hopefully i will get approved and it wont take too long :) I've been working quite a bit now and making pretty good money so i've had a good start to the summer and i'm going back to school this fall after a year of being out. I'm gonna major in social work and i'm having to pay this semester out of pocket so i really need the work hours. lol but hopefully i can get student loans for spring semester. anyways, i hope everyone is doing well and i'll update when i find out something about the insurance

Now I'm Depressed

Apr 21, 2009

Gosh!! I am so stressed out right now!!  I have to come up with 3,000 dollars to pay and join this weight loss program and it is required!! I called today and asked the lady if i had to do it and she said yes because the $3,000.00 goes toward their paychecks!!! And to beat it all insurance does not cover it and i have to pay 1500 before the surgery and 1500 after the surgery. the only problem is I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY! and i'm not able to get a credit card because of one 200 dollar credit card i had and missed a few payments. and my pap will not help me out nor will he cosign a loan. so i have no idea what to do. I want this surgery more than i have ever wanted anything in my life and i only have one more doctors appointment before i can be approved for surgery. i have come so far and now im scared that i'm not gonna be able to do it. i have been so depressed about this cause i was so excited about this surgery, there was nothing holding me back and now this!! if anyone has any advice for me let me know...

Time For My Psychological Clearance

Apr 17, 2009

Hello again everyone. I went to see Dr. Foreman yesterday for my psychological clearance. Everything went well and he didnt try to delve into my mind too much. haha. I did have to take a 540 question test!! Luckily it was true/false, however, it did crack me up cause one of the questions was 'have you ever felt as if you were possessed by a demon'..lol i definately put false on that one. Not that i dont believe that people can get possessed by demons it's just that it was kinda funny. Anyways, i'm also on a pre op diet until my surgery(which like i said should be in June) and i'm supposed to lose 16-20 pounds in order to shrink the left lobe of my liver so the surgery will be safer and also so i can go ahead and get used to eating properly. The diet is going okay i suppose. i've only lost 2 pounds in a week and a half but i HAVE  to start following the diet like i should cause so far i've just basically eaten less instead of eating healthy. so hopefully it will come off a little faster once i have the time to start preparing meals and what not. but anyways, just wanted to update...hope the best for everyone!!!(lord please help me lose 16 pounds before surgery!)

My Consultation with Dr. Williams

Apr 07, 2009

Hello everyone!! Today i went to see Dr. Williams for my consultation and they weighed me and did blood work and I also took a breathing test that told me how many calories i burned everyday and learned that my metabolism is actually faster than average!! Wow. that was a shocker. lol Dr.Williams is so great and very informative. He told me that if everything went well then my surgery date should be somewhere around early to mid june which i thought was just awesome. Hopefully everything will go through quickly and i will be having my surgery in a couple of months!! Wish me luck and pray for me :)
