  1. I was the person who told the nurses he was acting weird...after that they put him in a room where we couldn't see. The nurses were off doing other stuff and I went up to one and told them that the guy was sitting in his chair twitching n such.
  2. thanks...the insurance BETTER have it on file tomorrow because now I know for certain the paperwork was faxed in. Jeannie told me again today that I probably wont have approval until the 20th...that only gives me bout a week and half left of October to get the last appts with Jeannie, Lindsey and Kaplan that I need. then i have to have that 2 week preop diet too and I am wanting my surgery date to be the 10th of november. I hope I get a quicker approval =/
  3. I hope everything goes well Elizabeth I'm sure it will be fine. Getting stuck I've heard can cause some people discomfort for days. I've heard that pineapple juice helps getting stuff unstuck really well.
  4. During my sleep study there was a guy there who just started Ambien...he ended up having an allergic reation to it before 10pm (lay down hour) and they had him on oxygen and heart monitors the whole nine yards. His whole body was twitching and stuff it was weird. Eventually he got too bad and he was sent to another floor of the hospital.
  5. Wish me luck when I bug insurance tomorrow and hope they have paperwork in hand they told me to call again tomorrow afternoon since Jeannie said they were faxing it as we spoke at 2pm.
  6. I'm waiting for insurance approval. They said it could take up to 2 weeks. Once I get that I have an appt with the surgeon/nurse and preop nutritional appt. and I have to get the EGD somewhere in there. do preop diet etc. I'll get the surgery date and EGD date when i goto the surgeon.
  7. Yay luluc congrats on the pups!
  8. Turns out they hadn't faxed it yet. Jeannie called me and said why are you calling us now it's not time for approval we told you to wait until October 20th I said I know I was just calling because the insurance told me to cause they didnt have any paperwork. Jeannie called me about 15 minutes ago said they were faxing it then. So that's why it wasn't faxed yet. I'll call and pester insurance tomorrow.
  9. Ugh if doctor's offices tell you they are going to do something they need to do it. :| Insurance had nothing from them ANYWHERE and they told me they were faxing it yesterday :| BLAH
  10. I'm upset. I just called insurance again and they had NOTHING from the doctor's office nothing...they said maybe it was sent to the wrong fax or something because they couldn't find anything and they looked and looked. I called Brenda and told her what they said and she said I dunno if they faxed it or not...she asked me what the fax number was that I had for it and asked me the phone number so she could work it out I guess. If they didn't send anything yesterday they better send it today. Lindsey told me they would fax it monday. It's nice to know I have to call and figure out all this shit and nothing is even going on it seems. Looks like I am waiting for approval from paperwork that has never been sent. I am really upset right now.
  11. Cool...I hope it went well. Where are you located? I'm pondering calling now at almost 1 instead of 2...I am feeling anxious.
  12. o.O dum de dum deeee dum dum dum lol
  13. It was supposed to be faxed to them yesterday. I called yesterday to see if they got the paperwork from the fax yet..they said if it was faxed it should be on file tomorrow so they told me to call tomorrow afternoon which is today now...I wanted to wait until around 2 to give them time...but I'm wanting to call now...but I don't want to call too early and hear it's not on file yet. :redface:
  14. I used to never miss a Nascar race....now I have better things to do...I like Gordon...(shouldn't have admitted it) LOL

    I don't know why people do it. Murder is a horrible thing. Makes me sad how often someone is murdered in this world.
