*GOT APPROVED!!!!*
I received a call on Tuesday from Christy saying that my surgery has been approved! YEAH!!! I am excited and more then a little nervous. At first I was just excited and then I started to get nervous about having it done. I'm sure that this is normal.
My first appointment with Dr. Kligman is on August 27th. I don't know if they schedule the surgery date that day or not.
My insurance was GREAT!! I had to have a few blood test done and do a psyc. evaluation, but that was it. The doctors office sent in the results and within 24 hours they received a reply from the insurance company. It was actually a lot less hassle than I thought. I am thankful, because I know that for most people it is not as easy.
Good luck to everyone out their still waiting for approval. Don't give up! It took me over a year to get to this point.
Melinda, Congratulations. What great news. Keep that positive energy going. We have a support group in the Toledo area if you are interested. We would like to help in any way we can. We meet on August 30 at St Charles hospital. We will be in the Bay room at 7:00. If I can help in any way let me know. Best of luck.
