Please cross your fingers for me and send me all the positive energy you can spare.
My doctor's office submitted to the insurance company today and assigned me a surgery date of 8/27/07.
I started this process in Jan and found out I had an exclusion on my policy. I switched insurance companies to a policy that supposedly covers WLS. (All they will say is: they will approve if medically necessary)
I figure I've spent about $1,900.00 in co-pays and pre-op testing. ($30 co-pay each visit + $250 each for shrink & nutrition + $500 co-pay for the endoscopy) I've been to about 23 doctor appointments in the last 6 months. (with the 2 sleep studies + 6 month diet + etc )
I'm prepared to self pay if I have to but I'll probably go off the deep end before then. - lol. I'm still blow away by all the TIME and MONEY I have had to invest in this so far. I’m kind of wishing I’d just done self pay back in Jan. *sigh*
Please wish me luck!
