So irritated!



Recommended Posts

I was told last week that info had been sent to the insurance company. Come to find out that insurance coordinator was not even there last week. So I called them yesterday and was told it would be before the end of the week. I was fine with that I understand she was out all last week. I called today to check on it and was told it could be next week. So what is it this week, next week, maybe sometime in the near future? I am so ticked off right now. My expensive insurance is paying their salaries I expect to be treated with respect not like they are doing me a favor.

I work for an insurance company, so please don't take it out on the customer service rep... we can only give you the information that is in our systems... but it sounds like you are getting conflicting info, and that's not good.

What we have to realize is that we are not their only client... I am sure they are doing what needs to be done...but when we are in a "holding" pattern, it is very frustrating... I understand.

Hopefully you will get some good news very soon!

Good luck to you

I actually don't mind the insurance company, they told me I could call anytime I needed to. They are very nice. I am just mad at the surgeon's office for not having a straight story. If it going to be next week that's fine just tell me that. I am very polite when I call the doctor's office and the lady I always get stuck talking to is very rude. I am trying very hard to be patient, but I have anxiety issues an they are starting to bother me. I am hardly able to sleep I am so worried about all this and I am finding it very difficult to stick to preop diet because I am wondering if it is going to worth it.

jtickle ... you might try talking with the office manager at your surgeons office and explaining the run around you have received. They just might be able to get things done a bit more to your satisfaction. Also, at your appointment with the dr, advise him/her about the situation, wether it has been resolved or not. A dr only knows so much about the issues in his office as they are BUSY .... seeing patients .... and often are shocked at the problems going on without their knowledge. Now of course I dont mean be all yellie and screamie but a simple "hey, I thought you should be aware" would maybe save someone else the anxiety you have been dealing with ..... Good luck ;)

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
