I gotta gripe

So, I emailed Sandy in Dr. Price's office on the 23rd of June and she told me that my file would go to insurance the next morning. So, today I called my insurance company to check on the status of the claim and the lady said they hadn't received anything!  I immediately emailed Sandy (it was 5 p.m.) and asked if she sent it on the 24th. I really hope it was just an oversight by the girl on the phone and that she did send my file. That would really frustrate me. I feel like each time I inch closer to the surgery, I have to take a step back. Of course, I know I shouldn't complain because so many others have had to fight so hard for their surgery and I haven't had quite the struggle they have. I just needed to vent. Thanks for listening.

Brandy, I sure do understand your frustration!  It just seems there is no hurrying up the process no matter what you do.  But do keep calling and checking and sooner or later it will happen. Boy I could write a serious book about my encounters over the past two years as I have worked toward WLS.... and am still "waiting"... I will call some time today and check on the status of my pending approval... but am trying real hard to be prepared should they deny me again.  Seems I have worked so hard to get approval... tried my very best to dot every i and cross every t.  At some point I have had to leave the whole thing to Someone bigger than I.  Seems like I went thru a stage of anxiety about it and then as I prayed I just decided this was foolish and that what was going to happen will happen and now I seem a bit calmer about it.  Not to say I won't go thru it again though... this WHOLE thing is a process! I am praying you will see approval quickly.  Go ahead and vent all you need to. Best wishes! bec
