APPROVED!!! Can NOT believe it!!!
Let me start off with thanking everyone, for all the words of encouragement I have gotten over the past week!
Now, for the people that do not know me or my story. My name is Charlotte and I am currently looking into having WLS with Dr Ameri out of Winchester Hospital. This man is a SAINT.... In every sense of the word!
I have been going through all the protocol and requirements that I need to do in order for my insurance company to cover this surgery... Last week on Tuesday I got a letter in the mail stating that I was DENIED. I was so upset. The news came on the night of Dr. Ameris monthly support group, which I need to attend. I had so many emotions going through my head and the last thing I wanted to do was go and sit and listen to everyones positive stories. I went anyway and talked with some of the office staff and asked what my options were now.... They informed me that I needed to appeal. I was totally discouraged. I came on the site.... and wrote a message on how I was so sad and angry and discouraged. I wrote how I felt like giving up, not that that was something I really wanted to do, it was just out of frustration.
I got alot of well wishes and alot of people telling me never to give up. And I thank all of those people.
The reason for my post today is... I got a phone call for Dr. Ameris office. This is how it happened.....
Hi Charlotte, This is Louise for Dr. Ameris office.... Merry Christmas.
I said, Hi Lousie How are you? Merry Christmas to you too.
LOOOOOOOONNNGGGG PAAAAUUUUSSEEE
So the reason for my call is.............. Dr. Ameri got you appoved.
My reaction.... WHAT!!!!, ARE YOU KIDDING ME!
Well, Thats why I said Merry Christmas. Do you need to take a min and call me back.
My response was YES!
I can not believe this. I can not contain the excitement. The scary part... the surgery is JANUARY 19TH! Oh my goodness.
Like I said before, I want to thank everyone for their kind words of encouragement. You all are what have helped me get through this past week.
Happy Holidays... Charlotte : )
