Finally!!!!!

Nov 28, 2007

Ok so Ive been waiting, and calling, my insurance company to see if I had been approved.  Well after waiting a few days......I finally got the approval! I will be having surgery on Monday the 3rd of Dec. I have wanted this for so long and now I'm a little nervous. I know I won't regret it. Keep you all updated on how it goes.

Waiting sucks......

Nov 15, 2007

Ok so now I'm waiting to hear back form my insurance company. The surgeons office submitted my paperwork on Monday or Tuesday, and I'm still waiting.  If they hurry with the results I will be going in the 19th , of this month, so thats 4 days from now.  I really hope they hurry up.

My insurance Co sucks

Nov 01, 2007

So I called my insurance a week later to see how the process was going and now I'm told that the surgery is an exclusion and isn't convered, at all!   So I'm pretty pissed, looking for more options, then I come to the conclusion to self pay. But one more try before I fork over so much money(that we don't have). I applied for MRMIP(major risk medical insurance program) and I got accepted. So now I have to re submit all my papers to this company.....and again wait!  
Keepin my fingers crossed.

I HATE Waiting

Oct 06, 2007

So I'm waiting to hear from my insurance. It was submitted on Tuesday, September 24th. I called to confirm, it had been submitted. So now I'm playing the waithing game, and it's driving me crazy!!!!!!!

Not giving up

Sep 07, 2007

After getting declined by 2 different insurance companies. I called my own insurance to find out why they don't cover the surgery, well to my surprise they do, I have to have money in my HRA acoount, which I do and it has to be medically nesessary, which it is. So I called Jodi, the program coordinator and told her I wanted to go forward, since it was my out of pocket, paying for my pysch eval and nutrtion eval. So I had my nutrition eval on Sept 5th. Now I'm waiting for them to submit it all to the surgeon. Hopefully will be meeting the surgeon in a few weeks.

the bumps continue.....

I got declined,. Don't know the reason yet, waiting for my letter. Hopefully it's something fixable. Not much else to say just really bummed, a little sad, but still determined.

Psych eval......and little bump in the road

Aug 17, 2007

Had my Psych eval on Aug 13th. It went well, he said I was normal...hehe...fooled him!!  Was going in for my nutrition eval but reshedualed. Got a call from Jodi on Thursday Aug 16th. She told me I wouldn't be able to have the surgery because my hubby's work doesn't have it as a benifit. I was so bummed, I creid a little. then got busy looking for other options. Talked to a few different people, got a few ideas. Today, Aug 17th, I filled out an application for an insurance Co, that covers the surgery. So just waiting for them to accept my application.  Didn't think this was gonna happen without a few bumps.  Hopefully not to many more.

First Consult

Aug 07, 2007

 Had my first consult today. First I met with Jodi, she went over my insurance, and then took a before pic, took measurments, and weighed me.....yuck. Then I went with Diane. We talked for about an hour. She went over the history packet I filled out. I came home very excited, I called the psycologist office and made my appointment for my physch eval. That's Monday the 13th. Now I have to get done with my food intake record. 
I'm so excited!!!!!

First steps

Jul 24, 2007

On July 19th I attended the informational metting. The next day I got a call form the WLS coordinator to ste up my first appointment with the Program Coordinator.  This appt. is on Aug 7th. I'm so excited. I just want this to happen. I know it takes time, and it'll happen soon.

The beginning of the journey

Jun 29, 2007

Ok...well I have been doing research for a while. And finally decided that having WLS would be a good tool for helping me lose weight and get healthy. After researching many surgeons...near and far. I have decided on the local surgeon. James Stone.  I contacted the local office and am waithing for my packet to arrive.  
Looking forward to the WLS road ahead!!
