Remember me?

Well for those of you that dont know me or remember my story, Here is the spark notes version smiley

 

I started my journey in Feb of this year.  After my first visit i was told i had to complete 6 months of a supervised diet with a nutritionist.  In april my insurance changed and automatically the Dr's office decided that since it had changed that the requirements probably changed.  They never bothered to really find out so after 3 months of NUT Visits they submitted my paper work and gave me a surgery date of July 2.  Well not to my surprise i was NOT APPROVED!  Reason?  Well i didnt compete the 6 months.  So i got a couple of "I'm Sorry's" and completed the remaining 3 months.  Once i completed all my visits my paperwork was again submitted and my new surgery date was Nov 5.  Guess what? The day hurricane Sandy was blowing trees down in my neighborhood i received the letter that  I was NOT APPROVED again!  Of course i was beyond pissed.  Not only did i have to wait to be able to contact the Dr's office for over a week (Neither I or The Dr's office had electricity for over a week after the storm) But to my surprise the reason i was not approved was that my navigator as much as i liked her was very sloppy.  Turns out that there was info missing,  My height was wrong on some of the medical notes from 4 years ago (They required 5 years weight history and diet history)  At the wrong height my BMI was not over the 35.  And the worse part was that when i finally was able to speak to my Navigator at the Surgeons office she basically told me that i had to get it approved myself, that there was nothing else she could do. 

 

Well right after thanksgiving i was really pissed off at the world and decided i was going to get my surgery approved!  I wrote them a somewhat nasty letter and spelled out all the supporting documents in a timeline!

Guess what??????

I found out today that I am FINALLY APPROVED!!!!!!

I almost want to go find another Surgeon!  I swear if i didn't think it would screw up my approval i would tell them where to go!

Of course my call the surgeon's office today would be useless since they are probably having their holiday parties and stuff.  So i guess i will have to wait until after christmas to schedule my surgery!

 

Merry Christmas everyone! I swear this is the best Christmas gift ever!
