My coworker and I started this journey together. She was approved and her surgery is Aug 11th.

I was denied and I'm appealing and fighting my ass off to get approved.

Recently I noticed she isn't telling me anything about her surgery what the following steps are or anything about the whole process, which I found to be odd.

We even talked about having it done the same day and would be a great support system to eachother at work.

Now I know that maybe she was just feeling bad that I was denied...wen tho I am truly happy for her...I'm jealous. Deep down.

BUT did my best to smile and encourage her and asked her questions and was getting short answers.

I mentioned to another coworker that she started to seem distant and a little short with me. And I found out she feels uncomfortable around me. ME! I was a little taken back. I've known this woman for 15 years...I'm kind of hurt she just shut me out. It makes me feel worse. I keep saying "I'm right behind you!! Don't u worry! I'm fighting I will get it approved!" And to find out I make her uncomfortable makes me feel awful. I'm excited for her, I want her to tell me what's going on and how she is feeling and doing like we have been the last 6 months!

I guess id feel bad too if it were the other way around, but I think I'm doing a pretty good job at staying positive...I was very down and out the first 2 weeks after I found out Aetna denied me..obvi!! But I was honest with her and she knew how I felt. I didn't want her to feel bad.

This woman is not always easily approachable. As long as I've known her she can be a tough cookie...so just coming forward and talking to her about it may not be that simple- especially since my other coworker promised me not to tell her that I know. I know it's ridiculous but I work 40 hours a week with these women as I'm not trying to stir the pot...even tho to break thru this, I know we should just talk about it.

Just needed to get that out!

Ahhhhh

Congrats, good to know everything worked out well.

Congrats! That's great news!!

Keep us posted how u both make out and GOOD LUCK!!

I sure will, thanks

No prob, I'm still waiting for approval. My friend was done August 11th and it's been rough seeing her at work now that she is back an I'm still sitting here waiting.

Hopefully my lvl 2 appeal will be approved. It was submitted last Thursday.

I'm sure it will get approved..
