Call doc for status... Doc says: submitted to insurance. Insurance says: no records found. Shrink says: NO working still! OH! and don't stress it.

I say: WTF!?!?

I've called the doc's office back to ask how they submit. If it was snail mail it should have been there by now. I did get some good news out of it... I will know something within 2 weeks!

They have 2 week-ed me to death!! Two weeks is the answer for EVERYTHING. I've started answering all questions like this: Q: "Hey, wanna go swimming at the Y?" A: "Within two weeks." Q: "Mom, Can we have spaghetti for supper?" A: "Two weeks, Son. Within two weeks." Two weeks sure has taken a load of stress off my life! Everyone should give it a try. I highly recommend it. Remember to smile and have a good day... Within two weeks, Shawana

Waiting is the worst! From whenever your Dr submitted... allow about 5 days for the insurance to put a pending request in the system... if they mailed allow additional time for that. Once they receive it has to be processed and entered... mine took about 5-6 days before the ins co was able to verify they received.

I had DrMelkonian who is in the same office... it was rough getting my paperwork in as well... I love him as a surgeon and everything has been great follow-up wise... but it was very trying to get my paperwork submitted as well... not sure if its the same girl doing it now as when I had surgery but I had to keep on her like flies on poop!! Shed say shed call me back and then never would... said the paperwork was in, then it wasnt... I feel your pain woman! Just keep hanging in there!

Oh Shawana. Things are so unfair. I am so sorry that you are having a hard time. If these people only knew what we feel like while we are waiting and our total being is in their hands. It seems like they would put more importance in this paperwork.

I guess they don't know how we feel. Everytime I have to call the surgeon's office, I feel like my heart is going to pound out of my chest. And to receive bad news....omg it feels like your heart is being broken.

Keep hanging in there. It will happen eventually. Stacy

I heard that! The shrink told me to take an extra Seroquel when I had to contact the surgeon's office!

Stay sedated and don't be angry! I swear they simply don't make enough medication to keep a crazy fatgurl sane dealing with this mess!

OK Honey, I'm with you! SSOOOOOOooooooo FRUSTRATED! I just got an email from my surgeons office saying that they have no results from my GI apt on the 16th. And then to top that off my psychiatrist told me in person that he had no problem clearing me for surgery. Well, surgeon got his letter and said insurance would red flag it! SO, Dr. Moran actually called him to see what was going on. I talked to Janell ( his nurse ) and she said they wouldn't file with that letter. So, called my psy. office and asked them to have Dr. CALL ME! ARGH!!!!!!!!!!! Just when you think things are going well- BAM! OK sorry, done venting : )

Wendy, Who did you see for your Psyc visit? Because the guy I saw told me he would send in the results immediately, and he is the only one we had to call back for results! And that took a week! (he was weird, too)

Lori- I have my own Psychiatrist due to the fact that suffer from depression and anxiety. I know Dr. Moran usually refers people to Carolina Partner's. I see my guy on Wed. so hopefully we'll get everything worked out. I'm going to ask him to have the new letter to Janell ASAP!
