Just got approved by insurance and now doc says.....



Recommended Posts

What a roller coaster ride. I have went to all the classes, done all the required medical test and submitted all the paperwork to the insurance company. The insurance company said they will cover the cost 100% and are sending the doctor the proper documents for him to get paid..................I was under the impression 3 months ago that after the insurance approved me, it would be two weeks till surgery. Now the office lady that handles surgery scheduling says it will be 6 or 7 weeks.

What a ride.

How frustrating ! ! ! I hope the scheduler gets your date moved up a bit more. If not, hang in there, and just prepare as much as you can mentally and physically for your upcoming date.

I feel your frustration. I went to my doctor almost 3 weeks ago and received my date for June 23rd which is a long wait. I went through all the doctor appointments just to be held up by my PCP. She sent in a note to my surgeon as if it were a doctors note to go back to work. My PCP has been holding me up for the past 3 weeks from getting approved. I cant believe how inconsiderate some people in the health profession can be. Wish me luck I have Oxford.:001_tt2:

Dealing with insurance is maddening. Call them and see if you can be on a cancellation list. You might get it moved up that way. Best of luck.

I know that this won't help you with the long wait and the anticipation, but I'd rather be having surgery from a surgeon who is booked for weeks ahead than one who doesn't have many clients and can schedule me right away. I'd feel comforted by the fact that he is in demand for his services!!!

Congrats on the date, though and keep us posted.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
