I need insurance help please

 I i'm waiting on my approval letter from the insurance company. I'm just wondering did anyone call there insurance and see how everything was going and how many time did you call? I called on friday at 10am and no one got back with me so im going to call in the morning. What kind of question should i ask when i talk to them? Do i just ask how much long it is going to take ? I just need help i don't know what to do plase help me

I called everyday and asked for the progress on my authorization.  It is your right to know what is going on.  Keep calling.

 Thank you jennifer, I called on friday twice and one of the lady yelled at me for calling back i was upset a little but it is showing them that i really want this i think because im so ready to have it done.

I was waiting for my answer on my surgery choice.  The duodenal switch.  Hopefully you have researched all of your surgery options.

  It is their job to tell you...ignore them being angry and just get your answer!

 I'm doing the RNY because i wait to loss the weight faster i want to be able to live again. I have a four year old son that i want to play with and be a good mom which im not doing now always making up stuff why mom can't play. Which make me feel like ....... so that one of the reason i want to know right now so i can start on my new life.

I have a son who just turned 5...I want to live again too, but I wanted to give myself the best surgery option available.  THis was the DS.  You will lose the weight slightly slower, but you have a much better chance of keeping the weight off long term.  Check out duodenalswitch.com

It is better to make the decision the first time, so you do not have a revision later.  I just want you to research all of your options.....most people do not.  There are more options available to you, and it just so happens there is a better option for people with a BMI over 50.  Just check it out.  I will not flame you for making an informed decision.
