I am finally approved
I received the final order from the judge stating that I can have the surgery, but when I got a letter from Medicaid stating they were denying it again, I didn't know what to think, and neither did my attorney.
I contacted the Dept. of Insurance in Frankfort and when my records were pulled, they told me that they were going to look into it for it didn't make any sense at all. I received a phone call this morning and National Health Services told me that the letter denying me the surgery was a mistake and it should have been an approval letter. This letter came last month on the 17th. They told me that an approval letter would be sent by mail tomorrow and they would fax a the letter to Dr. Argotte tomorrow as well. I am trying to get excited about it, but I want that approval letter in my hands before I really do get excited about being approved. It has been 14 months that I have been fighting to get approved. I will post again when I get the letter and when I get a date. God is in control. Didn't think this would ever happen. It didn't come in my time, but in God's time. All my foot ulcers are healed now too. I also have lost 60 lbs within the past year. Most of it was because I was upset about how long this has taken, and I thought if I couldn't have this surgery, then I was going to really try to lose weight. It has really been a struggle to keep it off and I still have 90-95 lbs more to go to reach my desire weight and this surgery will help me get there. I have lost weight in the past years of 95 lbs but always put it back on and more. To keep this weight off that I have lost, I have joined a gym, and I have been eating very little and drinking mostly all water. I knew that I wouldn't be able to continue this way the rest of my life, and when I again started to eat more, the weight would come back on, plus more of it too.
All prayers are welcome and needed as I start my journey which I hope will be soon.
