LAYTONBI

I started my process 3 weeks ago. I got my PCM to get me a referal which of course he tried to talk me out of getting. I got really upset with him and even told him that the surgon will dictate whether the surgery was for me or not. Needless to say; he put in for the referal. I saw the surgen last week. They said I was a candidate. I had no co-mor. My BMI was 42.2. I am 5'1" and weigh 225.5. Today I got approved by humana military- tricare prime. I called them everyday. Both the docs office and the insurance company. My surgery date is this Monday Nov. 3rd. I dont understand why everyone is having such a hard time with their insurance company. Maybe you just need to stay on their butts... I am wondering if they just approved me so that I could stop calling. Either way I got it and I am glad I was ferm. 3 weeks is nothing compared to some of these people. I haven't gone through my nutrition classes yet. But since they schedualed my surgery so soon I am do to take them the week after I get the surgery. Oh yeah the reason the surgery is so soon is because someone else cancled. I really do wish every one luck... Stay on their butts people. N if they deny you appeal it.!! Dont give up.
