Asking For Prayer And Positive Thoughts

I am increasingly stressed that I will not get my approval from insurance. I have done everything in my power so I feel completely out of control now as I wait for the decision. Every day that goes by I feel a little less hopeful. I just need to find some peace.

Hi,

Just know that as long as you have done everything in YOUR power to make this happen, then the only thing left to do is TRUST GOD to to what You Can't Do! This is a piece of cake if you've met your insurance criteria! Don't Worry!

All Will Be Well with You!

Numenow

My prayers are with you.

ill say a prayer for you as well. i felt the same as you. it took my insurance about a month to finally send my approval letter to my surgeon when i was originally told it would take 2 weeks. however keep this in mind, i called the insurance comapny directly a week and a half after the paperwork was officially submitted and was told it was approved. good luck to you!

Praying for you too. It will happen.

I will say a prayer for both of us! My paperwork was submitted to the insurance companythis morning (I called my insurance company to confirm it was received). The insurance comapny says 5 days for a response. I am on pins and needles. Good luck and hopefully you hear back soon. How long did you have for your insurance requirements? I had a six month waiting period. My last weigh in was yesterday.

Sending you lots of prayers and wishes of peace as you wait!! Waiting stinks, hoping for calm and contentment until you hear.

I understand, I'm scared too. It's still a little too early in my process for my surgeon to submit an authorization request, so the wait is killing me. I'm consoling myself with what their office told me: that my insurance company is one of the easier ones to obtain approval. I don't see why they would NOT authorize the surgery but of course my thoughts are running away with me. I hope your wait will be over soon. :)

Thank you all for the kind words and prayers. You really have helped me be more at peace during my wait.

The peace comes from allowing the powers that be take over. You'll be fine and your approval will come.

I completley understand that waiting for insurance approval to come through can be such a stressful time. Hang in there. Sending prayers your way!
