New Date
I have a new date set for my surgery. Its scheduled for May 24th. Im kinda nervous, kinda excited, and kinda worried that they will cancel it again due to some unforseen problem. (Last time it was my thyroid) Now I have to get back into the swing of things again. I slacked off when my surgery was cancelled before. So measuring cups and gym ......here I come! lol
Hi Mary,
We will have the same surgeon. Glad you have a date. I have been dealing with insurance problems. Took them 3 weeks to tell me I couldn't just use a center of excellence here in Tulsa. So now I had to switch surgeons and reapply for a "cigna certified" hospital 100 miles away in Norman. I really like Dr. Keith, though and am grateful he got me in so fast. I was about to give up after five years of trying to get this surgery. ( I still won't get my hopes up until I hear "approved") But I am sure I will feel nervous and excited too. I hope we can share our journey stories as we go.

Molly,
Im sorry you have to deal with all the insurance mess. That can be so frustrating. I was approved very quickly, but I have heard many stories like yours. Just be persistent. You will get there eventually! I was originally scheduled to have my surgery on Dec. 28th this past year but the day before I was to start my 10 day diet, I was informed my thyroid was too low and that the surgery would be cancelled until it was back in the normal range. Now after 3 months and 3 changes to my medications, its back in the normal range, I cant help be excited but I dont think Im going to believe its really going to happen until they wheel me into that operating room! LOL
I hope you get approved soon. Keep me posted on your progress! ~~Mary~~
