Anxiously waiting and down to the wire

Well, surgery is exatcly 7 days from today. I am getting really worried and anxious because my health insurance still hasn't come through with the approval. I called to check and they basically wouldn't say anything other than its under clinical review and it may take up to 15 business days for review!! I mean come on! I'm supposed to have surgery in 7 days and have been doing this liquid diet. I'm so afraid it will get pushed back and I have worked so hard to get here. Not to mention that would be another 10 days of this dreaded liquid diet. I'm praying with every fiber that the approval comes through before my surgery and all goes according to plan. i've done my part and then some and am more than ready for this.

I had the same thing happen to me. I was to have my surgery on July 29, 2009, and it got moved up because I was ready and they had an earlier appointment. My insurance had not come thru yet either. I was on phone with the hospital people everyday. It turns out I was approved the day of my surgery that morning of June 27, 2009.

Keep the faith I hope it all works out for you. Best wishes imaluckydog
