Waiting 4 Approval...and Stressing Out Badly!!!!

I finally have my surgery date set, but I am waiting for approval from my insurance company.  Needless to say, I have not felt such angst in some time.  My BMI is 45 and I have some co-morbities, but I got my health insurance from my employer only 3-4 months ago, so I am very worried that my insurance company will hold that against me.  I am so stressed out I feel like crying. Please send me good thoughts.  Helpful comments appreciated.  Thanks...

I don't know how helpful I can be, but I can tell you you're not alone... I'm right there with you.  My insurance company received all of my info today and now I'm waiting....  my surgeon won't give me a date until I get approval.  I hope we both hear something soon!!!

Hang in there!  I've been going through this since Feb of this year.  My insurance co keeps needing more info (I think they are stalling) so everything that could possibly be turned in was sent again Friday.  I'm just waiting now...like you.  Try to stay busy on other things, that seems to help me.  I wish you the best with the outcome.  Just don't give up! 

i can understand what you mean my dr is getting ready to send my letter in and it scares me that after coming this far that I will be denied. But I hope I won't I hear that people are getting approved right and left just by the way he writes his letters. I hope it works for me.  nicole

I GOT APPROVED.  OXFORD IS A REALLY GREAT COMPANY.  I FEEL LIKE I HAVE BEEN GIVEN A SECOND CHANCE AT LIFE AND I LOOK FORWARD TO LIVING IT IN A HEALTHY MANNER.   I WISH EVERYONE GOING THROUGH THIS ORDEAL THE BEST OF LUCK ALWAYS.  OH ME SOOOO HAPPY!!!
