I was supposed to find out today or last friday, nothing yet!



Recommended Posts

Hello. So I was wondering if anyone else had this happen to them. I was supposed to hear back from Insurance if I was approved or not either last Friday or by today. So far I have heard nothing and I'm really nervous! I'm wondering if this is bad news since it seems to be taking longer than it's "supposed" to. Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated!! :-)

No, I think it just means your case is not a big priority TO THEM. If you haven't heard by tonight, I would advise calling them tomorrow, and continue to bug them until you get your answer. Be nice, but persistent.

Thank you for your advice and input! I had the insurance department at my surgeon's office do all of my paperwork and communication so far with my insurance company. Do you think I should call them or my insurance company directly? I wasn't really sure who was actually going to contact me. I thought it was the surgeons office, but I don't really know! I emailed the insurance department this morning and haven't gotten a response yet from them. I hate the waiting game!! But I know good things come to those who wait!! Thanks again!

I would call both. Check in with the surgeon's office to make sure everything was submitted when they say it was. Then check with the insurance company. Good luck! Just like senior said, be nice, but be persistent.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
