I found out this afternoon that my surgery is most likely going to be rescheduled for another day because my Authorization was canceled! My lovely coordinator from OBAND never updated the surgery date with United Healthcare. I literally ate a bunch of junk food and cried myself to sleep. My blood pressure went up so high I ended up waking up with a massive headache. They told me to still show up to the hospital and see if a miracle happened and I get a new authorization [emoji24][emoji22].

Ohhh noo!!! Sorry to hear that. Are you sure its safe to show up after you've ate the junk food? If it doesn't happen how about next week?

That’s horrible! That is a major mistake. I cannot begin to imagine how you feel. I’m so sorry this happened to you. And, what a suggestion...to show up and hope the new authorization comes through. That’s anxiety-producing. Be kind to yourself (warm baths, nice music, candle/diffuser, and positive self-talk). Sending prayers...[emoji259]

Keep us posted. I hope everything works out okay. I can't imagine how upset you are feeling. I know I would be. Hang in there.

They contacted me at the last minute to come in yesterday after having the authorization escalated. I ended up having surgery 5:30pm instead of 10am but I’m truly grateful. I’m in the hospital now having a lot of gas pain which is expected but the surgeon advised the surgery went beautifully. I’m so grateful to be part of this community and now I can officially say I’m part of the losers bench [emoji1487]

Way to go Ms LauraD84, you're safely entering the other side, we're going to miss you over here in PreSurgeville, but we are planning to March across(well I'm going to march, the others can ride if they want to) and joining you over there!???
