Just got my surgery date! So excited!! I got a call from the nurse yesterday and she said since my BP has been dangerously high at the last couple visits & at the exercise physiologists visit, their going to try to move the surgery date to October if any spot comes open! Yaay!

Yeah... see now I feel like calling tomorrow .. Someone here that got surgery from that same hospital said they forgot to submit hers.. and almost missed her surgery.. I don’t wanna be one of the lucky ones. I will call tomorrow [emoji31].

Take “feel like” out of the sentence and “get er done.” And don’t be afraid to tell them that you’ve checked with insurance who has no record of the pre-cert submission. They should be better, but some places won’t be unless you push them.

So apparentlyI won't be having the surgery on the 20th ? I called the hospital and apparently I will have to pay $1300 up front with Medicare to have it done. I really wish I would have known that before. The surgeon's office told me it would only be "around a $200 deductible" I will have to call and try to get it rescheduled tomorrow. I'm super bummed.

Yup. Met all requirements and jumped through hoops. I was crying after I found out, head is killing me now.

I’m sorry to hear that ... but that is really F up! I hope there is a twist to this.. or something. Not fair at all. I hope you feel much better today and don’t give up on it.

@Linz13 Is there someone who can loan that to you or a credit card to put it on? I'm so sad for you!!! ((hugs))

Good morning everyone! I hope you are all doing well and are ready for the weekend!

How is everyone who already had surgery?

I'm trying to keep my chin up here. Don't know if I will hear about the insurance on Monday or not--since it was only filed yesterday. God's timing is perfect though, so I'm trying hard to just relax into the process and accept that my experience is different than the expectation--and that is ok. LOL. It's def harder than it sounds!

I may not be around as much this weekend. It's my "really big weekend!" LOL. So I will miss you guys and will check back in on Sunday.

Hugs to all!!!

@Luisajfc Don't forget to call your doctor's office!!!

☹️ I did ... totally forgot today is kinda like a holiday. No one answer

How is your pain level? And fast recovery!

Just reading about all the insurance drama is breaking my heart! I can't imagine having to jump through hoops like that. Canada may be freezing for 6 months out of the year, but I am grateful that I don't have to worry about insurance, and that my expenses are covered.

Hugs to all of you still waiting for your final approval, and sending healing thoughts for everyone who had their surgery this week. There are so many of us that I'm having a hard time keep up with it all !!

Just received my order of unjury protein chicken soup and it taste really great. Highly recommended!
