10/13 Sleeve on hold by Ins. ????????

Hello everyone!

Very frustrated.... WARNING... Curses coming...

So yesterday my insurance co (UMR) called my surgeons office and told them that I needed 3 more nutritional visits (May, June, July) before I could have my surgery..WTF!? The info was faxed to the insurance with plenty of time & now, just before surgery she wants to pick up the damn file & review it. Can I please know WTF she was doing all this time?

My doctors office faxed the letter to her & today she says she needs 3 detailed letters with a bunch of other details ????. I'm waiting for my doc to come in and approve this so they can fax the letters over to the insurance lady & see how fast she can review my documents & approve my surgery.

What pisses me off is whyyyy did she wait till the freakin last minute???

Ughhh... I'll keep u all updated!

My surgery has now been rescheduled to January 19, 2015.

I'm very dissapointed and very sad.

Because people are lazy and don't do their jobs; unfortunately that has affected you. Hang in there!

Sorry to hear this had to happen to you and you've been rescheduled. Hang in there!
