Pre-op testing
· seckert08 · 07/25/2009 03:27
Yesterday was my pre-op testing/physical. The doc says I'm healthy as a horse and should have no problem going thru the surgery. YEAH! Today was my pre-op dietician/nurse class. My wonderful hubby took off work to go with me. He is AWESOME and has been so involved in the whole process. I could not ask for a better support system.
10 days until my surgery. WOW, time is flying! I'm a little nervous about the surgery, not about whether or not I should do the surgery but instead just nervous about the pain that may follow.
Other than that I am SO EXCITED and SO READY to begin this new journey to better health and a better ME....I DESERVE IT!

Approval letter received by dr.
· seckert08 · 06/24/2009 14:27
Received an email from my surgeon's office yesterday. They have, in hand, a copy of my insurance approval letter (I still haven't gotten my copy yet). Their surgery scheduler will call me in approximately 2 weeks with my surgery date and further instructions. Dr. Evanson's schedule is out approximately 3 months. I could be looking at end of August or into September (as an estimation).:crying:

Crazy insurance
· seckert08 · 06/17/2009 18:34
My surgeons' office assured me that they had faxed my insurance company on 6/2/09 the following:pre-determination request, along with the Physician Verification form for a total of 62 pages. They then called my insurance this AM and were told that apparently they my insurance) are simply "Blue Shield" of California, not Blue Cross/Blue Shield (even though the shield and cross are both on my insurance card - confusing!!!) Anyhow, ins. gave dr. office another form and fax number and they resent my your pre-determination. SOOOOOOO.....we'll see how that flies! :thumbup:

Notified my surgeon's office yesterday that insurance wants them (dr. office) to call. No response yet. Meanwhile....I dread going to my closet and geting dressed every day! Nothing LOOKS GOOD and I feel fat in everything I wear! I'm ready for a jump start to a new me! My self image has been in the pits for so long!

First entry
· seckert08 · 06/11/2009 13:43
I've never done the "blog thing" so here goes!! :crying: I've enjoyed reading other's blogs on here and have gotten lots of inspiration.
Right now I am waiting on my insurance company to respond to my Dr.'s request for predetermination. My psych. eval is done and all of my paperwork is done. It's just a waiting came at this point.
I did call my ins. co yesterday to see if they had made a determination yet but they told me that there was not authorization showing up yet. I will give them until Monday and try again.
