FRUSTRATED!!!!

I just need to vent. I have been caught up in the Cleveland Clinic "bariatric surgery program" (in quotes because it's a joke) for 3 years now. After the ten different appointments I went to last year between Endo, Psych, Nutrition, Surgery, and sleep study I fell into some sort of black hole where the insurance company that had been covering the surgery decided not to anymore but took 3 months to decide. I had to start over again after waiting a year to be able to switch to my husband's insurance. The real joke of it is I'm a Cleveland Clinic employee. My husband works for Home Depot. His insurance covers the surgery and mine doesn't. I am so frustrated that the Clinic has no one who seems to know anything. They need to have a contact person! Anyone else out there with these issues? Any advice? Sorry for the long message but enough is enough! Thanks!

fortunately, cleveland clinic isn't the only bariatric facility in ohio. if they dropped the ball on this, do you really feel confident putting your life in their hands? I'd start shopping around. Your surgery pays their bill--bottom line. Only settle for the best when it is as important as this.
