Bump in my road

I didn't get surgery July 7th because my insurance was terminated days before my surgery.. Soooooo sad. But all I have to do is reactivate it and call my surgeon back with an effective date of my insurance and get a new date.. Anyone familiar with this happening

Why was it cancelled?

Why was it cancelled?

It says why up there. My insurance was terminated without giving me notice. So all I have to do it call back once my insurance is up and running again and I'll have a new date

Sorry - I should have been more clear. I was wondering why the insurance was cancelled. But no worries, you'll have a date again soon. No, have heard other reasons why procedure was cancelled last minute (doc was sick, patient was sick, etc) but not because insurance was cancelled. Might be a blessing in disguise.

It was time for renewal and didn't even think of that with all the excitement. But now it's in process of being reopened I just have to wait til it's open again and I'll have my date. I'm just being positive

Well now your on your way again. This time will be your time. Best of luck.

Hi Tammie30 !!! So sorry to hear about your set back. Hang in there girl, it will happen. My surgery did happen on Monday 7/7. Came out great. Dr. was gonna let me go on Tuesday, but I felt a little funny, so we agreed for me to stay one more night. Happy I did stay. Started throwing up during the night real bad. Had to go NPO again. Only IV'S going and still throwing up. Dr. ordered all kind of xrays all night long on Wedsday night. He came into my room around 10:45 pm and saw my condition and ordered emergency surgery. In less than an hour he was back in clearing up scar tissue from past surgerys. Felt 100% better after that. Came home yesterday (Thursday). First night was a little rough only because I had to really take care of myself. Oh and while I was in the hospital, My son had to rush my Dad to ER at the same hospital. My poor Mom & Aunt had run between the both of us. So please say a prayer for them and My Dad. They really don't know what is going on with him yet. Now time for my weight to start coming off!!!!!!!

Oh that's terrible. Take care of yourself. I hope your Dad is ok. I will pray for all of you.
