Enjoy the wait.. once you have surgery and loose the weight your life will got so exciting you wont have time to rest!! Linda

If you're tired of waiting, give them a call, maybe, to see what's going on? I mean, I wouldn't call every hour or every day, but sometimes you have to be the squeaky wheel to get what you need. GOod luck, Linda Vicory

Hey Vickie, Hang in there- it took me a long time to get there.( 2 yrs. )Are you going to Support Groups?? i know now alot of the Drs. are requiring them before surgery. Just remember- good things come to those who wait- and you'll fine!! It doesn't hurt to call, just know sometimes the Ins. is SLOW to answer-so try to be patient!I'll keep you in my thoughts. (((hugs))) Ellen

its not the insurance i am waiting on i have been approved for 2 weeks now. its the heather at ST'Vs i am waiting on. i can never get her on the phone i leave a mess but she has yet to ever return a call. i broke a rule at work and left her my desk number and home number and work and home email but still nothing. vicki

Vicki, Do what I did....I call and dont pusy any buttons...wait to get a human and then explain that Ive been calling for days and cant get anyone to return my calls and they put me right thru to her.... I hope this helps

well tomorrow is my late day i dont have to go in till 1130 so i am going ot get up and start calling when they open and do just that . thanks hun. i never thought of that.. vicki

Hi Vicki, I'm right there with you girl! I sent my stuff off to insurance on Friday so I'm forcing myself to hold off on calling my insurance until I get my return receipt from my priority mail thingy. I'm an only child too, so gimme gimme!! lol. Kim

Hiya Vicki (Brighteyes) Smile, don't get depressed, I know it is hard but keep your head up, you will have that date before you know it . I know waiting is the hard part. Let me know when you get the date and if there is anything I can do. I still make it down your way once in a while now. Peggy (Snuggs)

Vickie, I can so understand what you are saying about the waiting. Once you get that approval ya want that surgical date yesterday. People have often commented on what a patient person I am but I couldn't claim to be patient now. Anthem tells me my approval was 3/15 but I haven't received any letter yet. I was sure it would be in the mail today but wasn't. Oh well, there is always house cleaning and laundry to do to keep my mind off of it. Hang in there - hopefully you will be doing your happy dance this week sometime. Peg
