January 26th was my last PCP visit for the required 6 months insurance requirement. Thank goodness! Now to get the ball truly rolling. I have to admit it all has been pretty smooth so far, paperwork/detail wise. However, as soon as I think Im in the clear and on my way my PCP office wants to be difficult. A little vent if I may. I am not sure why they do not understand what surgery means. I need the paperwork faxed to my surgeons office so it can be sent to the insurance company. They sorta have to approve it BEFORE my surgery date which was already set. Now, if it was sent on time and something happen with the insurance company fine we will have to reschedule. But you are telling me it will take you 2 weeks to fax some paperwork?!? I love love love Wendy from my surgeons office she has been unbelievably wonderful through this whole process. I can call her for what I think is the stupidest thing but she assures me it isnt and answers the questions with ease. We are both motivated to bug the hell out of my PCP office so they will fax my paperwork at a more appropriate time frame.

I in no way mean to bash doctor office staff as I have been a filer, paperwork handler, appointment maker for the last 10 years and know how it works. However, there is no way I would put off a fax, knowing the importance, for that amount of time.

Anywho.....Onward we go. February 15th is the surgery date, hopefully it stays that way, and I am so very excited. My pre op diet starts next Wednesday so this weekend I am going to go and get all the liquid based "food " I will need for the next couple of weeks.
