Insurance you're killing me

I had received my phone call telling me I had been approved, on the 29th of October, however today I get a call telling me that yes they received the verbal approval but my letter has not been received. I too have not received this letter. I have sat on hold for over 45 minutes while they pass me around from person to person. Ahhhh... my surgery date is on the 17th. I don't not want to yet again postpone it due to insurance... so many emotions right now.... could use some prayers everything works out and surgery continues as planned.

Hang in there! I got an approval email saying they were forwarding my records to the surgeon. It was probably another week after that before I got the official letter, and then a second week before I heard from the surgeon. There's a lot of waiting involved, but it's so worth it in the end!

@@tlowry I'm super sorry to hear that. I guess i shouldn't complain I don't know if I could wait 2 years. You probably have no sympathy for me. Hang in there though! Good vibes to you

@@taweedeegirl because the insurance wont round my BMI of 39.5 to 40 for years 2013-2014 and according to BSBC federal, I have to be of 40 BMI or greater (with no comordities). So Bluepoint has to submit my weight from 2014 and 2015 at the beginning of 2016. It's so frustrating....
