The Drama ... The Journey
May 19, 2011
On January 7th 2011 I began my journey with the first doctors appointment of Many. I imediately fell in Love with Dr. Amir Moazzez and his Office, I had my mother and father there for support he answered all my questions and he informed me of the three month exercise and nutrition program required my Aetna Insurance.
I was very please that they had everything all set and ready for me upon my arrival to my initial consultation they had my three month requirement classes all set and scheduled right in house which was awesome!
February 15th was my first class and April 28th was my last. During the months before my last class I took the liberty of insuring that all my test and exams were completed before my last class so that I could ensure my paper work would be submitted in a timely manner.
On April 28th right after my last nutritionist session my paper work was submitted and on the 29th of April I received a phone call that ripped my heart out!!!! Pam who has been nothing but wonderful informed me that my insurance DENIED me not because of anything I did or didn't do but because my fathers company did n not cover Morbid Obesity! wow what a shocker! I thought everything was for nothing. I heard the news on the way to work, so naturally I went in to work crying like I lost someone, but I was losing someone... MYSELF! everything I wanted for myself was going down the drain all the work and money I put into attending these classes, missing work, taking sleep test, blood tests, urine test, ultrasounds etc. was for nothing. Then as all the tears ran down my face. I thought of my 9 year old brother who cried with me when I didn't get on the Biggest Loser after making it to 3 out of the 4 rounds and told be countless times how all he wanted was for me his older sister to be healthy, WOW How could I let him down!!!
Me being the big baby that I am I called my mother unable to talk clearly through the tears and quivering voice I managed to get it together enough to say I was denied its all over, my mom said we will re-submit I said no point its dads company's fault they don't cover fat people like me!! Then my mother being her normal Brillo pad soft self said "Stop Crying and Go to work, you are getting this damn surgery WE WILL PAY FOR IT! Find Out how much and shut up!" With out my parent this would not be anywhere near possible they are amaizing and true life savers.. I have been able to do special negotiations with everyone as well as Bluepoint Surgical Group who has been more than great through the process!! SO now I have a Surgery Date of June 6th.... AND I CANT WAIT!!!!!!
