BEYOND upset
It all started on Monday morning. I woke up with this strange feeling that I needed to call my insurance company. It was the beginning of my 2 week countdown and I thought "hey, I never got that letter from insurance I was supposed to get." Just a hunch. I was not prepared for what I was going to hear.
Somewhere along the way, there was a mix up. I don't know if it was at my doctors office. (It doesnt seem like it) But it may have been with my insurance company or the liaison between the insurance and my doctors.
I am NOT approved for surgery. Here it is...literally less than 2 weeks before my lap band surgery and insurance is saying "i donno where you got your info, but you are NOT approved."
I am in shock. Someone screwed up big time and I am in shock. I have the freakin voicemail on my phone that I am approved! I had my pre-op testing at the hospital! I am SOO ready for this and I am told I am NOT qualified?!?!?
I did NOT qualify for surgery, according to insurance, and I am NOT supposed to have the surgery in a week and 3 days. Who ever told me it was a "go" was mistaken. They got the ball rolling and that is that.
My insurance company has to look at my medical history and because my weight has fluctuated too much, there was never a medical "need" for surgery during the past 5 years. In other words...Sorry you have been overweight, but you haven't been heavy enough for the past 5 years, for us to consider you a canidate.
I have been crying most of the day and I am not sure where to go from here....

I'm so extremely sorry for your pain. If this happened to me I'd be on the phone tracking down the people or person who informed me wrongly. There has to be something you can do.
In the mean time, I'm keeping you in my thoughts. I can only imagine what you're going through.
