I am a bit frustrated today. My last appt with my PCP was good until I mention having chest pains while mowing grass on a very hot and muggy Saturday. My doctor knows I have asthma and I told her that I thought this a respiratory issue and nothing to do my heart. She ordered a stress test and another EKG, my insurance company has denied both saying that I do not need this.

Between vacations, I have yet to speak to my doctor but I did talk to her nurse yesterday. I told the nurse that I was fine and this issue is holding up my request for the Gastric Bypass Surgery. My insurance requires a six-month trail, which I have done, and now this.

I am so ready for the next chapter in my life. I pray about this each day and for a sign that I am doing the right thing and hope that this not the sign.

As anyone else had this type issues while waiting for approval, encouraging thoughts will help me today!!!

Hi I would make an appointment with that doctor and explained to him just what you stated above that you were experience pain because you over did it and it was hot, I would also explained to him that my insurance will not cover any more test because they feel its not warranted and you would like to proceed wit you surgery. Good luck my friend and hang in there , we are all pulling for you.
