2/23/07  I finally got ahold of the nurse that sent out the original letter. As I had already known, it was NOT the approval letter. She promised me it went out in Wednesdays mail, I didnt get it today so hopefully by Monday. I am so ready to schedule. As I read the boards daily, I know I am not in this alone and I know the frustrations the others have, but I want to be a LOSER lol  hopefully soon. I'm staying positive :)

Well I received my approval letter from UHC only to find out its not really an approval letter. I sent it to Barix who told me its just a generic letter and I need the right one. So after calling allllll week, I finally get somebody who goes...oh no you are right, thats not the right letter. DUH! So she told me she would send me the corrected one out, in the mean time, Barix also finally got somebody to admit it wasnt correct and they will send them one out as well. She didn't tell Barix how long it would take but told me it would take about 15 business days. The only reason I'm not tearing my hair out is from what i'm reading i'll lose some of it anyway  lol 
I do find the good in it, its taking a little longer which will push my surgery out a little longer, but on the plus side, the weather will start to break soon and i'll be able to get out and start walking the dogs :) 
Happy Friday!

APPROVAL

Feb 06, 2007

2/7/07 I CALLED MY INSURANCE COMPANY YESTERDAY AND WAS TOLD VERBALLY I'VE BEEN APPROVED!  APPROVED!! AHHH SUCH SWEET WORDS! NOW I JUST HAVE TO WAIT TO RECEIVE THE LETTER AND I NEED TO BE CLEARED BY MY CARDIOLOGIST. I GO SEE HIM TOMORROW AND HOPEFULLY THINGS WILL BE OK :) 
BY THE WAY, UHC RECEIVED MY INFORMATION AND APPROVED ME IN LESS THAN A WEEK. I'M ECSTATIC TO SAY THE LEAST!

I went to a seminar at the Barix clinic here in Columbus on 1/22/07. I saw Dr. Viglianco, nice guy, seemed a bit scattered to me, but after all the postings on him and different research, I feel good about it. He was nice enough, don't get me wrong, just a bit scattered lol 
Anyway, I filled my paperwork out and they sent it to my insurance company UHC. I also scheduled my stress test and I had that on Friday, a bit unpleasant, but I'm here :)  lol  Now i'm just WAITING! of course I called the insurance company on the 1st of Feb and they said, oh we got your paperwork a couple of days ago, it could take up to 30 days...30 days???   ok, so its not very long, but it seems like an eternity when you finally decide to take this step in your life, you of course want to do it NOW...yesterday even lol hopefully it won't take that long though. When I talked to the people at Barix, they said UHC is pretty quick on there decisions and they were a good company to work with, so lets hope so. I am excited and scared to death all at the same time. I read this site every day, I think i'm addicted lol I have read the memorials as well, my heart just pours out to those families. I needed to read them for me though, I NEED to know the good, the bad, and the ugly of this surgery. Well, enough for now, back to reading!  take care
