Still Waiting! - ThinnerTimes

OH I HATE THIS PART. THE WAITING JUST DRIVES ME SILLY!

I ALSO WAS SUPPOSE TO HAVE RECEIVED A CALL FROM SOMEONE IN DR. CALLERYS OFFICE SO I CAN GET A PASSWORD AND LOGIN TO ACCESS MY PREOP INFO ON LINE BUT NO ONE EVER CALLED ME, SO TODAY I AM GOING TO CALL AGAIN. I JUST WANT TO BE ABLE TO KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON WITH MY INFORMATION.

I WISH I WERE OUT IN CALIFORNIA SO I COULD GO WITH EVERYONE TO VEGAS! SOUNDS FUN, BUT THE MOST I CAN OFFER IS GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL. IN THE MEANTIME I WILL CONTINUE TO DRIVE MYSELF AND OFFICE BUDDIES CRAZY UNTIL I HEAR IF I AM APPROVED AND GOT A DATE SET.

I HAVENT BEEN ON THIE SITE MUCH BUT IT IS VERY INTERESTING AND HELPFUL. I JUST MOVED AND SO I DONT HAVE MY PUTER CONNECTED AT MY NEW HOUSE SO I JUST GET TO HOP ON HERE BETWEEN WORK. SHAME ON ME!

I WILL TRY AND POST A LITTLE MORE OR BE MORE INTERACTIVE BECAUSE I HAVE SO MANY THINGS I NEED TO KNOW/WANT TO KNOW.

Sondra,

It must be so difficult being so far away from the office. I hope you can join us more online...this group has been an awesome support for me and so many of us. Hang in there...your time will come!

Sondra,
Hang in there. I found that the waiting period was the most difficult time so far for me. I had the support of everyone here in the forum. Everytime I felt like I was discouraged, I reached out to everyone here. I made new friends that are a true blessing to me.

I just wanted to let you know, it is worth every day waiting. Just make sure to stay persistant and on top of things.

Good Luck.

Call Leslie. She was the one that gave me my password and login number. Good luck Girl!

I Have A Call In To Leslie Now Cause When I Got Alicia On The Phone About It She Said I Was In Dictation And They Will Just Call Me And Let Me Know What Is Going On. But Apparently Now I Need To Send Dictation My Weight Loss Attempts, Which I Thought Leslie Copied When I Was There In June For The Seminar. I Am A Little Upset With That. But She Is Suppose To Call Me Back About It, I Contacted My Insurance And Got A Copy Of The Checklist The Doc Is Suppose To Fill Out So I Know Exactly What They Need.

Good, that's your road map! Keep on them about getting your information and getting it into your file. Things just get lost in that office.

Sondra,

Just wanted to let you know my fingers and toes are crossed for ya... hoping that you hear from the office soon and that everything goes smooth as silk. Good luck with everything..

Can't wait to meet you!!!

OK SO IT HAS BEEN TWO WEEKS, BUT I ALSO JUST FAXED THEM 2 MORE YEARS OF WEIGHT HISTORY CAUSE THEY ONLY HAD 3 YEARS. SO AS OF NOW I SHOULD HAVE EVERYTHING THERE IN THE CHART. I JUST TALKED TO WHOEVER ANSWERS THE PHONE AT THE FRONT DESK AND SHE TOLD ME I SHOULDNT BE IN DICTATION LONG SO I AM HOPING MAYBE 1-2 MORE WEEKS AND THEN WHAT? THEN DO I GET SENT TO INSURANCE AND FROM THERE WAIT FOR THEM TO APPROVE OR DISAPPROVE? I AM READY TO BOOK MY FLIGHT TO SAN DIEGO SO I HOPE IT GOES REALLY FAST NOW. MY HUSBAND KEEPS ASKING ME WHEN AND SO DOES EVERYONE HERE AT WORK! MY HUSBAND IS SUPPORTIVE BECAUSE HE KNOWS I WANT THIS BUT HE IS SCARED FOR THE FACTOR V PART. I KNOW IT WILL BE OK. SANDI PROVED IT TO ME!!!!! SO EVERYONE CROSS YOUR FINGERS THAT I CAN BOOK MY FLIGHT REALLY SOON, I NEED SOME SUN TOO!!!!

My guess is that dictation will take another week and one more week for insurance approval. I'll be rootin' for you!

Hi Sondra,

Hang in there!! I was in dictation 17 days (that's with weekends), it only took about 5 to hear back from my Insurance. If you've received approval for everything so far, you should be approved no problem!! They scheduled me for August 30th, going to be the longest month of my life!! But OHH SOO worth it. Hope to meet you when you come to SD. Where do you live now?
