  1. OMG you guys! I got my preop instructions in the mail yesterday and it says I have to do a bowel prep the Saturday before my Monday morning surgery! Ahhhhh!!! I work weekends so I'm sorta freaking thinking I should get someone to work for me! Any suggestions?
  2. OMG!!!!! That makes me mad just reading it! I would drop her......fast! She sounds like a negative Nancy! Maybe you could try to talk to her but if that is her mind set than talking may not help... what a sad situation.
  3. Congrats!! What an emotional day! But soooooo exciting!!!
  4. NOVEMBER 26TH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  5. OK it will be 3 weeks on Wednesday! What is the hold up!???! I have been more than patient! !!!
  6. Congrats worm!!!!! I'm STILL waiting!!!!
  7. Got a call from surgeons office today....still pending......now they are saying if I get approved this week my surgery wont be until late December! Ahhhhh!!! It seems like my prospective date keeps getting further and further!
  8. Holy crap! You look amazing!!! Look how tiny your waistline is! Congrats! How are you feeling?
  9. No phone call today! I called the ins Co to make sure they got my paperwork and they said it was in review right now......so the waiting game continues!!!
  10. Waiting on insurance approval........ring phone, ring!!!!
  11. Welcome! I am waiting on insurance approval as well! Hoping to get a call next week. Submitted on Wednesday!
  12. I was submitted on monday.....now I'm just waiting......blink.....blink
  13. My surgeon told me it would be a possibility that I would have one.....just wondering if anyone else had one.
  14. Anyone have an NG tube in place when they woke up from surgery?
  15. I saw my pcp this am on his rounds and he asked me if I got my surgery......I said ummmmm no I am waiting for your office to FAX my records!! He was not happy! And what do you know my surgeons office received all my records before noon today! Yeeaaaaaaay!!! Paperwork submitted and now. ....we wait!
  16. What should I say if they tell me no?
  17. Yeah it wasn't a pretty conversation. .....the bitch claws def came out! I could tell I pissed her off. ...she said "well our pile of records to be faxed is very high, we have other doctors and lawyers waiting just like you!".....I said "well mine is for surgery and I can't imagine it would take 4 weeks to FAX 7 MD notes and some freaking lab results!!" She said....."well I don't know what to tell you" so I told her to transfer me to the office manager and of course I got a voicemail......but I sure did leave one! And I will be calling back Monday! She said even if she was ready to FAX she couldn't because the Dr would be out until Monday and she needed his signature or some bs! I'm willing to wait until Monday but that's it!!
  18. I know! I work at a hospital my pcp rounds at so when I see him Monday morning I am going to let him know about these shenanigans! ! I know it does not take 30 days to type in a number and hit the damn FAX button! I used to work at a doctor's office! I am going to call my surgeons office Monday and see if they will call.....otherwise I will be calling my pcps office every day until it is faxed! The squeaky wheel gets the grease!!!
  19. I offered to pick them up and they said they would charge me $1 per page and the 30 day rule still applied! They are being rediculous!!
  20. My pcp is dragging ass on faxing my records to the surgeon.....I signed my release over two weeks ago and still no records were sent!!! I called today and the lady was less than friendly! She said they have 30 days to FAX from the time of request. My surgeons office is ready to submit but can't without those records! I am really about to lose my cool!!! Any suggestions on how I can get them to hurry up?
  21. We will get more dates as November approaches!
  22. I am from Warrensburg, mo but have been in Panama city beach for 3 years!
  23. Don't know my date yet but should be submitting to ins next week and know a date soon after approval! I'm from Panama city beach fl!
