So, I had my last required pre-op test before my surgeon would submit for insurance approval (sleep apnea) and my case worker from my diet/nutrition program submitted my charts as being good to go, lost the 10 lbs (+) they required, but I have NO idea when the sleep apnea results are going to be faxed to the surgeon!!!!!!!! I know they say it typically takes about 2 weeks (had the test on the 3rd), but I called the Sleep Center, they told me to call the pulmonologist, called the pulmonologist, they told me to call the sleep center. I am just going nuts praying these results come in soon so they can submit everything to BCBS!!!! I am so eager to get this surgery done I can't even stand it! And just when I feel like I'm close to the finish line, it seems to be further and further away....

Anyway, sorry to whine everyone. I just needed to vent. Please keep your fingers crossed that they send those blasted test results into my surgeon ASAP!!! :thumbdown:

Good Luck (fingers crossed ++).

After waiting most of the day yesterday, I called the pulmonologist's office and sure enough, my results were sitting in a big stack of papers all day :-( ! They ended up faxing my sleep apnea results to the surgeon and of course they never did the pulm. clearance letter, so now that's in process and probably won't happen today. What stinks is the surgeon isn't in the office tomorrow or Thursday, so he won't be able to sign off on receiving it until Friday. Looks like Friday will be the day they submit to insurance for approval. I know it's only two days, but I am sure you can all relate with the timing of everything on this journey--sometimes a day can feel like years!!!

Thanks again for letting me whine.
