May Sleevers...where are you?

[miks 8]

How many days will you stay afterwards in Mexico, to recoopererate.

I will be arriving on the 11th, surgery in the am of the 12th, hospital that night and the next, hotel the night after that and fly home on the 15th. I get really bad motion sickness, hoping the surgery doesn't worsen this feeling! I always puke on planes which is why I don't ever fly if at all possible ????

My last appointment with the dietician was April 1st. They submitted my paperwork to insurance (federal blue cross blue shield) on April 9th and now I wait. I will be absolutely devastated if they deny me. This surgery is all I have thought about for four months straight and I feel is my last hope to have a healthy life. I am keeping my fingers crossed for approval and a May surgery date. Did anyone else have insurance anxiety?

Hi cooperjack,

I had EXTREME insurance anxiety. When I talked to my surgeon about it he said only about 4% of his patients get denied. That made me feel a little better. I was shocked that I got an approval phone call from Excellus BlueCross BlueShielf the very same day my paperwork was submitted. I am scheduled for surgery May 1st I am sure you would not have gotten this far in the process if they did not think you would be approved. Good luck!!
