I'm still freaking out. I actually started hyper-ventilating for a little while and had to breath into a bag, and calm myself down, lol.
Earlier today, I got a call on my machine from a nurse at my insurance company. I called her back, and got HER voice mail. I knew my stuff was submitted to insurance last Thursday or Friday, and was thinking this was a problem about something. She didn't call me back, so after I got off work, I tried her number again and finally got ahold of her....OMG, I'M APPROVED!!! I was on my cell phone, and had to pull off onto the side of the road, because I was too excited to drive safely.
And yes, there
was a problem...the problem is, is that the insurance company doesn't have a surgery date to put in their records. I tried calling my surgeon's office to get scheduled, but they were already gone for the day.
It's weird, I didn't think I
wouldn't get approved, because from everything I was told my insurance company is good with approvals. But, I'm shaking all over, and I have butterflies in my tummy. But, it's like my last pre-op hurdle (except the liquid diet, lol) has finally been jumped. And the Pointer Sisters song "I'm So Excited" has been running through my mind since I got off the phone.
Oh, and the icing on the cake? When I got home and opened my mail, there was a letter from my insurance company. Just in case I thought I was dreaming up the entire call, I got an approval letter, dated 4-27! Woo Hoo!
