Mrmrshandie-What kind of follow up and support do you get from them? How do you get your stitches removed?

I don't know I'm hoping the come out by themself. My daughter stitches came out.

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!!
