I have got to be the most impatient person. I'm tired of waiting for insurance approval & just wish they'd come on already. I meet the criteria, my insurance covers the surgery. WHAT is taking so long? The nurse / receptionist (she does everything in that office) said 2-4 weeks. Throw in Labor Day 2 weeks is Monday. So it could be 2 more weeks & I need to stop this or I will drive myself crazy.

Thanks for letting me vent. In light of what is going on here this is a small issue. I'm grateful this is my only problem.

Oh, honey, if any of us had patience, there's an off chance we wouldn't have become morbidly obese. We tend to want we want, and we want it right now! Delayed gratification is not a concept we deal with well.

Ok, I'm starting to feel better and feel like I'll actually live to see my next appt... LOL! Sorry for the downer post above... When you're feeling like crap, in the dark, head pounding and on the verge of big shivvery shakes, I guess you (I) went a little nuts and freaked about the surgery.

Jeri... Think POSITIVE! Don't let some over-bearing bureaucrat get to you as they stall signing the d*mn paperwork!!! It's gonna happen, and you're gonna see so many changes in your life!!! We're all here, cheering you on!!!

I didn't mean to sound negative...just impatient. I know I will get approved and will finally have a surgery date I just want it now.

I can so identify with the impatience. I am going through the same thing. My case should be going to Blue Cross by the middle of next week. But I feel like I've had to babysit all my doctors' offices through all of this. Hell, the lab that did my bloodwork actually did the WRONG TEST on one of my specimens, and I didn't find out until 2 months later! So having that redone held everything up. I was somewhat patient during all of the testing, because I knew none of it could go to insurance until all testing is complete. Now that it's done, I'm about to jump out of my skin. Get it sent to BC already! Okay, I'm calming down now. I think once I have a date, I'll be able to have patience again while I prepare for the surgery. I haven't really been getting prepared yet, because I'm scared I'll jinx something.

Be careful what you wish for....I wound up finding out that I was having surgery 6 days after I was approved. Talk about a whirl wind....LOL.
