I was so excited to call the doctor's office today about my approval letter that I woke up at 5:00 AM and couldn't fall back asleep. So finally, 9:00 AM rolls around and I call and they say I have to talk to the girl who only comes in on Fridays! The last time I had to get ahold of this girl it took my 2 months! Now the whole thing feels hopeless again and all I feel like doing is crying. Then I try to ask the girl about only being approved for the open procedure and she says "They HAVE to do it that way in case he has to do the open surgery." I try to explain that I am ONLY approved for open, I am not approved to have the laparoscopic procedure and she says "Ok!" Ugh! I love my surgeon, but I HATE dealing with most of his office staff! So now I am back at square one, I am probably 3 months away from my surgery because this woman is impossible to get ahold of, they had my letter since the 29th and no one even bothered to call me...I feel so defeated.
