Just discouraged today
Do any of these people in the "business" really care?
I took Weigh****chers records to my surgeons office on Tuesday-to the insurance person-to see if my insurance company would accept them for the 6 months supervised diet failure. I have WW records from 01. Solid from 01 to 04--I am a LIfe-time member :). Then in 08 we had a WW 12 week program at work then I went to WW monthly for another 3 months. So I wanted this documentation sent in for approval. The surgeon's office/insurance person didn't seem too excited. She says I'll try and call BCBS of Michigan and see if they accept WW. We can submit things before ever thing is for sure because if they deny approval the insurance company has up to 180 days to look at appeals.
I went into BCBS of Michigan's office and talked to a representative and they were nice but could not help since the surgeons office has not sent in paperwork. (I am in my 2nd month of the 6 months going to my PCP) but I want surgery NOW :) I know my history, I've done much research, I've talked to people who have had the RNY surgery-I've been overweight for the last 13 years and I'm not getting any younger or healthier as the days roll by. Of course she has not bothered to call me back.
Monday I went to my cardiologist and went through 6 hours of stress test procedure for clearence for WLS. I've called every day to just see if everything was good which I believe it will be-however the dr. has not had the time to read the results yet-hmmm. He was not in the office Tuesday, had all day procedure on Wed, was supposed to be in the office all day today and would look at them and I would get a call back-NOT! Didn't happen.
I am sad that nobody sees me as a whole person-it's my health and body we are talking about but no one else seems to see the importance of ME. I need to hear someone say it will come-I know I need to be patient but I am so ready.
