They didn't call me to tell me they got approval!!!!!

So we submitted to insurance on 2/18. They came back on 2/20 and said they needed more info on the 6 months of diet via PCP. When I spoke to the office I told them I did not have 6 months of doc visits, that the insurance told me they could be Nutritionist or PCP visits. So the office told me that I would need to cancel the surgery and do two additional months of diet documentation via my PCP.

So I scheduled appointments with my primary care physician and I proceed to go on vacation and go off of my liquid diet.

I get a call yesterday stating that I need to come in for my preop appointment and preop bloodwork for my surgery on March 4. I told the office "no my surgery was canceled because I needed two additional months of diet documentation". So the Surgery Cordinator gets on the phone and says that she was able to get it approved and that I need to be here for surgery. I told her it's not possible because I have no sitter for my children while I'm up in Ocala because my sitter is going out of town on the 7th. And I will not have anyone to help me during recovery.

So I had to reschedule for April 22nd but....... I AM APPROVED!!! *happy dance*

It sucks that it is so far away but I have approval and they cannot take it away! I am sooooo happy.

I just wish she would have called me in the 21st to tell me I had been approved. Then I could have just kept everything the way it was!

She did say she would call me if they had any cancellations so my fingers are crossed for an earlier date!

Cheers Recovery is so much faster when you have all your ducks in a row PRIOR to having surgery. Its best you waited ... good luck

Congrats on the approval!!!!
