Does this waiting ever end??????

Just out of curiosity will I ever have to stop waiting? i waited 18 months while I "dieted" and changed insurance companies. Then I waited almost a month for my consult appointment. then I waited 3 weeks to do my psych eval. Then I waited 2 more weeks for my approval which I had to call to inquire about. Now I have to wait for them to call me again. Has anyone gone to Barix in Ypsi (Dr. Schram)? Does anyone know what I am waiting for this time? They said they would foward everything to a benefits specialist but I have approval already so what exactly are they doing now? When they call me in a week -10 days what will they tell me? WIll I get a date? I know things are actually moving pretty quickly compared to others but I am so Anxious I can't stand it. I would like to know exactly what is going on. I feel like I am kinda in the dark. I can't stand all this hurry up and wait stuff. I know I am approved so what is holdiong me up now? Does anyone know what happens next? I appreciate any info. Thanks Lisa

I am pretty sure that after the approval comes from insurance then your file goes to the surgeon and waits for his review and then his approval.  thats when surgery scheduling calls you back.  I think it was 2-3 weeks for me.  but well worth the wait.  you will really like having dr. schram as your surgeon.  he is very calming and caring.  best of luck to you.  hold on tight cuz its gonna be a wild ride.

Thanks for oyur reply.  I am the type of person who is patient when it comes to getting something I want. I want it NOW!!!!!! I am actually surprised how smoothe this has gone since I witched insurance companies. I have had no problems. I am just so anxious to get this done and start over. So when they call me back I should get a date right? That is what I understood from my conversation with the insurance person at Schrams office.  Thanks again

Well, if it makes you feel any better I to have been waiting for so many things to be approved, and phone calls that will soon be coming (not really) I feel just crazy. I have been approved for WLS a few weeks ago. My Dr. was out of town during that week. He returned last Tues. I called the office on Thurs. They tell me they completely understand my frustration, and I know they do cause they are great people, but I feel like I have to have a little talk with myself everyday.....maybe this week I will get a date... if not I will be understanding, and just know things are progressing slow for a reason(what, I don't know yet). But ya, I am so tired of waiting. I feel like my life has been on hold for this for just too long. Maybe this week I will get a date...its anyones guess. Good luck to you also...our time will come. We just have to wait.lolol colleen
