Well I have about one month to go for the 6 month supervised weight loss requirement and today it was announced that 1200 men are being laid off and 8 mines closed 4 of them here in West Virginia where my husband works. WHICH WILL MEAN NO INSURANCE!!! I am so scared and stressed out too come this far and so close

So sorry to hear about this!! You are in my prayers. Just still take it one day at a time. You've come too far to stop now. You can do this and the insurance will be worked out, you have options so don't panic now when there's nothing you can do about it. Just remember what the goal is and keep working towards it because it's not out of reach!! Stay strong!!

Thanks amc. Yeah I have hubby going into work asking questions so I can be more sure in which way I have to go. And I am going to try and get my appointments earlier

Good. Glad to hear that you'll find things out on his end and I pray that you get in sooner. I think I'm going to try to get in sooner with my Psych to get the ball Rollin here.

I would if I were you. That's the only thing I have doubts that I will be able to change because she is always so booked that you have to make the appointment with her a couple months in advance. But I will ask if she gets a cancellation or something

Hopefully all will work itself out. Remaining positive in a time when it seems like it cant get any worse will allow you a peace of mind. I'll send prayers up for you not only for your surgery but also for strength for your family if your husband has to be laid off. Right now you can only control the controllables and everything else will be alright.

Ok update. Just got off the phone with insurance coordinator for surgeon office. There is no way to fast track my appointment this coming Monday the 24th or my psych evaluation on October 3rd. But this is what they are going to do. She is gathering all my information right now and getting it ready to send and she wants me to schedule an October appointment with PCP as my surgeon will be out of town and she can't get me in to see him sooner. So October 4th I will do weigh in with pcp and as soon as he faxes the info and she said to have pysch submit that day or next (she works in same office) she will send for approval so by October 8th she will have it sent. So hopefully my husband's job can last at least a month

I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Went thru something similar. I had done everything and had my surgery date of August 7. One week to go and insurance said they wouldn't cover it unless done at an institute of quality. I was so freaking out. But luckily my surgeons nurse was nice enough to help me find a hospital with that rating. And within a week i had meet the surgeon and had a new date. I had to travel 10 hours away but i did have my surgery last Tuesday 9/11. So don't give up hope yet. Sending prayers.

Thank you so much. I am like my luck is so bad!!! Just got off phone with office again and wouldn't you know it!!! This morning the psych had a cancellation!!!! I told them plz plz if anyone changes or cancels or if breaking it up into a few days instead of one helps plz call me!!! I am devastated boy I amp learning what a drama queen feels like lol

On sorry for all this..who is psych with? Can u comm communicate with psyche ny email and further explain your situation..Amy was good at confirm king my date when the insurance informed them that my coverage would end in less than a el. I got auto on a wed n Amy called hospital to have me put on schedulethat next Monday. All your logs in? Can your primary doc work with you at all, i do know the 30 days applies in most mines. My little girls dad WaS laid off last Fri from patriot near cabin creek. They have kept coverage for thirty days. keep look in n for any small loophole this is a test. I would also ask for a consult with the insurance by phone where your primary can plead your case..stretch your Faith. Ill pray

My psych evaluation is with Peggy. Yeah Amy said she was getting my information and as soon as Peggy gets her the evaluation and then my pcp is going to get me in on October 4 and that is all needed. Dr shin is out of town that week so can't get an earlier appointment with him. I can only pray they hold off till after then. I told the office if they have any cancellations with Peggy to call me asap!!

Do you have to wait till Oct for pcp weigh in?
