Appointment with Dr Raum

Well, I think I am getting closer the the big event. I had all of my pre op test. All was good, except a few things in my blood was off alittle and I have serve sleep apena. I knew I wasn't sleeping well. I hope this helps me with my insurance company. Does anyone know what happens with Dr Raum? I keep forgetting to ask if they submit the paper work to the insurance company before or after meeting Dr Martin. I'm just so ready to get this over with so I can quit worrying I'm doing the right thing. All of you post ops are doing so well - I can't wait to be a LOSER.

I hope all goes well for you and you get insurance approval fast. I feel your pain the insurance waiting game was the worst part of my whole journey take care, Jodi

Thanks Jodi, I really appreciate the well wishes. All I do now is pray for the best.

I have Dr. Ordyne so I don't know~ good luck with the waiting... i am waiting also! Hugs, tracey

Hi Dr. Raum will go over all your test in full detail. He will tell you what you need to do before surgery to prepare for it. He is very through and very patient. He will answer any questions you have and will explain everything in detail for you. I like him alot. I actually like him more than some of the surgeons. You will see him as much as them if not more. He's great. And they will submit all the paperwork as soon as they have all the results in. So that should be done before you see Dr. Martin. Good luck. Tina

Hey Tina, Thanks for the response. I knew you would know. Well I hope I am getting closer. My test results are all in. The only problem I have is severe sleep apnea, which has not been treated, I hope that is not going to be a problem. So do you think if my test are all back they will be submitting it to the insurance before or after I meet with Dr. Raum? I am so ready to move on and get it over with. I am so tired of being like this.

They should be getting it ready to go to insurance. It depends on how much of it they have together when they send it in. But it should definitely be to the insurance before you see Dr. Martin, it may even be sent before you see Dr. Raum. Tina
