Can anyone relate???

I am patiently waiting for my surgeon to submit my letter to my insurance company for approval. But I have reached a point where I am no longer happy when I hear that someone got approved or that they have a date. I don't know if I am starting to just get tired of the process or what. There are days when I want to just give up the whole idea of having the surgery and just taking my chances on living past 40. I don't think I am having a pity party, I really am just tired of jumping through hoops that I can't fit anyway. Has anyone ever felt this way? If so please give me some advice.

I know exactly how you feel. I was on that rollercoaster ride for a year before I had my surgery. Not at all fun. See my profile for the details. Hang in there. All I can say is...Don't give up! Huggs, Ruth

I can totally relate. I was feeling the exact same way. I had stopped posting and replying to posts. I would go days without even logging on to the site when I was on 2 or 3 times a day in the beginning. It is very hard to stay positive when you are feeling down. Please don't give up because when you do get your approval it will all be worth it! Then you will have to wait for a surgery date.....but at least you know it is really going to happen. I don't know what kind of policies your surgeon has but if it makes you feel better call him! Sometimes the squeaky wheel gets the grease. If he is the cause of the delays perhaps you should seek out another surgeon. Just remember it will all be worth it in the end! Lori
