So I break down and call the surgeons office again,I am beginning to think that I have ADHD or something. Or maybe more rightly, OCD. Anyway, I call. This time the different secretary answered and put me on hold several times. I was beginning to think she was a little scatterbrained as she kept forgetting who I was and why I called. Next thing I know, the lady whose desk my file was supposed to be on for the last 2 weeks answers. JACKPOT! but no... She gives me this sob story about how they have been short handed as 2 in the office are out right now and how she has been staying late working on medical necessity letters, but hadn't gotten to work on mine yet. I was very nice about it and told her how I was really hoping to hear something soon as summer is quickly approaching and I really need to know where to put surgery in my schedule. She said that the understood and would TRY to get to it. She did tell me that she would call me when she faxes to insurance so I will know. I know that everyone is probably tired of hearing me rant and complain. I just want to get out of this holding pattern. It feels like I am on a plane out on the tarmac and I have to pee, but the plane won't take off or go back to the terminal. Just stuck and miserable...
I want to be skinny!

Rant all you want. I didn't have my blog when I went through all that, but if I did man I would have gone on. I was so frustrated about not getting answers about my insurance being turned in I left a crying message at the surgeons office. They did call me back the next morning. :)
Anyway, you are not alone in this.
Say LISTEN BIATCH! THIS IS MY LIFE AND I WANT TO START THE NEXT DAMN PHASE....

Oh Amy W. I am so with you! That thought crossed my mind...
Thanks for being my first follower! I was so excited to see a comment. I agree that you're hanging in there well with the insurance drama. Beyond frustrating! I hope you get good news soon!
I can't believe you actually got to someone who matters. That is an accomplishment in itself. Maybe you got through to her and she'll put you on the top of the list. Sending positive vibes your way. APPROVAL! APPROVAL! APPROVAL!
Keep venting here. Waiting is hard. It will happen for you.
Vent away!!! I'll keep my fingers, toes and eyes crossed that the approval fairy comes your way!!! :)
