I GOT MY DATE!!

He there fellow smores! I wanted to share with you all, I have been scheduled for lap bypass on January 11, 2006. I have to admit, I was REALLY dissappointed. I sulked all day feeling sorry for myself, I wanted this surgery in December! I have two really big reasons for this, one because I am starting school in January and I didnt want it to interfere, but more importantly, I recieve family health plus through social services right now, and I am due to recertify. I am certain I wont qualify because we make more money now, so my insurance will be cancelled at the end of December. The good news is I will be getting new insurance at work and that will begin on January 1. So now I have a question.....will my new insurance require me to go through all of these tests all over again, or will they accept what I have already done? I also thought about finding out what it would cost to pay out of pocket for the insurance I already have just long enough to cover the surgery. Any opinions on what to do would be greatly appreciated!!! Anyhow, as I was saying, I was feeling very annoyed and let down and sad, and then I remembered all of you. WHAt the hell is wrong with me???? How can i be acting like such a spoiled little brat, I know so many have not even made it this far! SO I have adjusted my attitude, and now I am very happy to finally have my surgery date. Thank you all so much for your love and support! Karyn

KARYN!!!!! WAY TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!! willby

Congrats on your date You will be on the losing side soon

congrats on the surgery date. sorry i cannot help with any answers on the insurance. good luck, though, karyn. maybe they have a cancel/call list you could be put on??? dorthe

Hi Karyn, I am happy you got your date....Bad news though.. from what I know your new insurance will NOT cover this just because the old one approved you... As far as I know you'd be starting over again. I like the suggestion of the cancel list...perhaps if you explain this to the surgeon they can work you in... Good luck.. Hang in there!!
