Here's the story in a nutshell. During this whole process of 6 month weigh-ins, my blood results have been abnormal consistently....elevated WBC, ESR, and CRP. Long story short, I have internal bleeding resulting in Iron deficiency and almost anemia. It could be celiac, polyps, stuff like that. I need to get a colonoscopy but dont think I'll have time to schedule it before surgery which means...

My surgery is supposed to be in January, but I REALLY doubt I will pass pre-surgical testing because of elevated WBC.

Question is, my file is being submitted to insurance next week. If I am approved and pre-surgical testing doesnt allow me to get the surgery, can I re-submit to insurance for approval if my first approval expires? How many times can i keep resubmitting if my aurgery date keeps getting moved to later dates?

I'm so scared, nervous, frustrated, upset and i would hate to be approved only to have it expire abd have to resubmit again

I think you can resubmit with no issues. They will want to know why. My approval had a six month window.

Oh wow 6 months?? That would be petfect. My isurance says I have a few weeks as a timeframe. 6 months would be so helpful

It's just so depressing and heartbreaking to think I've made it this close and now I've got this major setback to deal with Sorry, just venting

Sorry you are going through that. If I remember correctly you and I were being submitted to insurance during same time frame.( mine will be sent Monday) I was told that my approval will have a years time frame. I hope that everything works out for you to get your surgery in Jan as expected.

Thank you so much. I'm hoping I can get things situated medically so I can have the surgery. I'll still submit to insurance and I guess I can always resubmit after being approved if it expires and I can't have surgery yet. It's just so upsetting. I need this surgery Good luck with submitting. I'm still hoping I can have it during January =\

We are praying and here to support you! You can get through this!!! :-).

I hope your approve.

I hope your approve.

Thank you mami. I'm so scared my medical stuff will hold up surgery,.,.the thought of that kills me

We are praying and here to support you! You can get through this!!! :-).

Thanks for the support! I can't talk about this with family because no one understands but this forum

i sure understand the other medical things that can push this surgery out. First it was my blood sugars too high, and now have to deal with some ovary problem. Scheduled for Wed. but have to get approval from a Gyno Doc on Tues. I really can't see this happening. I bet I end up having to have the ovary problem taken care of first. I am not sure how long my approval is good for. That is a good question. I just have to believe that the healthier we can be going into the surgery the more successful we will be. So I am trying to look at it that way. Best wishes. Hope you get answers and can move forward.

Sorry to hear you're kind of going through the same thing. Did you say you were approved? I wonder how long your approval lasts. It would be great if it lasted a few months rather than a few weeks. If i have to resubmit because my approval expires (if approved) I can imagine that pissing off my insurance company as well as my surgeon's office. Ahh all I can do is cry these past few days....what makes matters worse is my sister is 4 months out and 96 lbs down so while I'm happy for her, I still wish I wasn't the "fat sister". Lets hope this is resolved quick for us both. When are you scheduled for surgery? Do they know what's wrong with the ovaries yet?

My surgery is scheduled for Wednesday the 5th. But the Gyno will make the call on Tuesday. They found a mass on my right side and a cyst on my ovary and calcification. I am not really in any pain right now. But I don't know if this is something they will say can wait till after the bypass.

I had a partial hysterctomy about 20 years ago, they only left the right ovary. At that time there was a tumor (non cancerous) size of a volleyball that weighted 5.5 pounds on left ovary. So I am not overly worried about this problem. But I am sure it should be taken out. Wish they could do it at the same time.

sometimes they can do it at same time. your gyn and surgeon would have to discuss it and come up with a plan. your surgery may have to ne postponed a week or so while they coordinate their schedules. definitely ask if they can do this
