    Insurance woes

    By amberakamom,

    Well I didn't get to finish my testing on Thursday. I guess my insurance approved an endoscopy rather than an upper GI, so they called and canceled.
    So, I continue to wait.........

    605 questions???

    By amberakamom,

    So all my tests have been finally getting approved through insurance. Sleep study is approved, psych eval, and upper GI.
     
    I go for the psych eval on Weds. She said there is a 605 questions questionnaire that could take 3-5 hours! What the!!??

    I haven't heard anything about any of my appointments for testing since the consult. I called the surgeons office today and I guess we are waiting on Tricare to approve them all. BLAH! Hurry up Tricare!

    By amberakamom,

    So the rest of my testing is scheduled for thusday, the 16th. Just hope they don't make me start the pre-op diet on Christmas or something! Lol

    Sleep Study. CHECK

    By amberakamom,

    So that's done. The "apparatus" wasn't comfy but it was much better than I thought it would be. It came off once during the night and the thing woke me up and told me to put it back on. Pretty cool I thought. Much better than having to go to a sleep clinic but I was glad when it was time to take it off. I did have a dream that Sally Jesse Raphael was my therapist. Hopefully it didn't pick up on that. lmao
    All in all, a painless experience.

    all my ducks in a row

    By amberakamom,

    On Thursday I have the last of my testing. Upper GI, Lab work, and Nutritionist. It's going to suck not being able to even drink water until after the Upper GI! It's an hour and 15 minute drive. blah! I will be so glad to be done with everything though!
    Tonight is my home sleep study. I get to wear one of these lol.
     

     
    I will let you know how it goes.

    Sleep Study

    By amberakamom,

    Yay, I finally got a call about my sleep study. Has anyone done an at home sleep study? I am doing mine through Watermark. Unless they move it sooner, I will do it on November 30th. :scared2:
