Waiting

My request for surgery was sent to my insurance company today. I'm so nervous they're going to reject it. I don't know why I'm nervous because everything is in order, but I still have this impending feeling of doom. I really want the surgery so badly.

I'm planning a cruise in October and I am hoping that my timing is good. I have Humana insurance and I was wondering if anyone else had experiences with them. I have Humana POS. it's a Medicare advantage program.

I am in this all alone. I need the support of people like me who are going through the surgery. For now, I wait

You got this and you're not alone. You have support here. I have felt oppression from close family and friends in this process but I keep on keeping on. Good luck with the approval! Pray about it and it will all work out!

I also have Humana POS, but I still have a few hoops to jump through before they submit to insurance. How long have you been working on this, also curious what state. I am in Georgia. I will be watching to see what happens with you now. LOL.

I have not been at this process long. I started on June 17th and have been through a barrage of tests, gotten letters from my PCP, cardiologist and shrink, and generally got stamped OK by my surgeon today. She put the paperwork into my insurance company today.

I am in Houston, Texas. According to my insurance company a six month period with the nutritionist is not required. My PCP wrote a letter stating that I tried many diets with him. Humana told me that this is all that I need.

I don't know how long I will have to wait for them to review and approve or deny. I don't have much faith in insurance companies although so far mine has been very helpful. They actually have a private number for bariatrics and assign a person to you!

I will let everyone know how long this takes and what the end result is.

Unbelievable! I got approved already. It took less than 24 hours. I can thank a thorough surgeon and lots of letters from my doctors! My surgery is 8-8-14
