Not Sleeved!

So where should be 3 days post op I'm not sleeved. Why? Cause I found out Sunday my insurance was cancelled due to the fact my ex husband has been off work cause he had surgery on his hand and his disability hasn't kicked in yet. So pissed right now. Now I have to wait until he goes back to work which won't be until the end of July. Luckily my approval from the insurance stands until I get it done so Idon't have to do everything over again. I'll just have to go preop testing and maybe get clear through cardiology again but hopefully not. So my wait continues!!!

    Thanks to you both. Yes so glad I found out before going in. That would've been a disaster lol.

    From what I understand, they're not supposed to cancel your insurance without offering you the opportunity to sign up for temporary insurance under the COBRA laws. You may want to check into that. COBRA insurance isn't the cheapest in the world, but it may allow you to get your surgery sooner. I'd find out what the deductibles will be if you were able to do that. Waiting may be the cheaper option.
