I am so sick of people asking me when my surgery is!

I have no idea! I have been battling the ins. company for four months and I can't stand this beurocratic baloney that these companies keep handing me! Hopefully if I get denied this time I will have a good case. The first time I was denied because my PCP did my referral incorrectly, so they did another one. Then I was given more grief and kind of an informal denial about the first referral, even though it was corrected. So then they decided to deny me again because my surgeon and hospital weren't "preferred" providers, although the hosp IS in Network. Now the office is working on listing themselves as preferred providers. In the meantime I did find another practice that are preferred providers, but their program isn't that great. I have heard a few people that have gone there and when I called to inquire they were actually rude to me! Not to mention I would have to start all over again in their program and I am not sure I want to put my life in the hands of these people. SO instead I am driving myself crazy waiting...waiting...waiting. kristey

I can understand your anger. It sounds like your surgeons office is trying to resolve the problem by becoming a preferred provider. Have faith that everything will work out for the best. Hugs Donna

One last thing. I can understand you also getting upset over people asking when your surgery date is. I let everyone know that I was trying to get WLS. I had to wait for so long to get my surgery. There was one time that I thought I was close to getting my surgery and got excited. I had people coming up to me ALL the time at work asking me how's it going with the surgery. I also think most of them thought that Donna would NEVER get her WLS but I was not going to give up. Don't give up. Donna
