Insurance changing in new year - YES

I'm am trying to do everything right and yet everything moves so slow. I appreciate all your posts because it gives me hope, purpose and a direction to continue on.

So Thank you ALL!!!

Insurance companies take their sweet time, that's for sure.

@@grnnbaret, have you tried calling the insurance company? Stay vigilant, especially since your insurance is changing in the new year.

Wishing you the best

Funny, I'm afraid to call the insurance company. I really want to be approved and do not want to draw undo attention to my case. I qualify, but my bmi is borderline. Such a scaredy-cat am I.

HA! Insurance company called me. Offering Nurse svcs before and after procedure though I'm still not approved! Nurse said that sometimes the ins company approves but keeps it as pending for no reason! She said if I'm not notified by early next week to give them a call. It looks like this is a good sign. The impatience continues, I have a COLD. 4 hour pre op class on Tuesday. Thank you for all your counsel. Continuing my perseverance.

I am approved the insurance company called though they haven't told my surgeon yet. Surgeon still gave me a surgery day 12/16. First surgery of the day. Ordered my Vitamins. Will start taking now. Trying premier shakes arghhh they make me have bubbles. I don't have a prediet. However have to keep my blood sugars low for preop or they won't do surgery!
