That is strange! What goes around comes around they say....life repeats:)

Brian, I hope everything went well with your surgery. God bless you.

OK . . . So I was supposed to hear back from the office as if my insurance company is going to pick up the tab. It has been almost two weeks and I haven't heard anything. I have left messages with the nurse I have been talking to but haven't gotten a response yet. Should I be worried or what? I haven't bought my plant ticket yet because I am waiting to hear back about the insurance. What should I do besides worry.

Just keep calling...keep up with it. The guy doing it for me told me the usually get it...although some insurance companies make it super difficult (like mine!!) He told me mine was the worst he had ever had to work with....BUT we got it done with less than a week to go, but it got done. I am sure they will get your insurance to cover it:)

I would keep asking them. Sometimes they get busy. Mine seemed to take forever. It is very frustrating waiting that long to hear something. Just keep calling them and don't give up. It will work out for you. Good Luck and let us know.

Good luck Brian;I'll keep you in my prayers too. I know yoyr insurance will come thru for you too! The squeeky wheel that makes the most noise gets what he wants/needs....keep on the phone....& keep us all informed,please. Carolyn

Just heard from the Doctor's office. My insurance company just approved the surgery. 100% paid for. I am going in May 11th, surgery is on the 13th. I am so pumped. I can't believe this is happening. WOOOHOOO!!!!

Hooray for you Brian!
That's one big worry to put behind you.

I took a turn for the worse. I came down with whatever is going around on Fri. I finally broke the fever and am feeling a bit better. Now I have major congestion in my chest. I talked to Dr. Shenaq's office and they said to take a bunch of stuff and it should clear up by next week. I am scheduled to leave for Houston next Tues. If the evaluation goes ok on Weds. than it is a go for surgery on Thursday. I just hope it clears up. Go figure. Just as everything falls into place I get sick. Is bad luck also a side effect of bpi patients or just me? lol Anyway I will keep you all informed

Brian,

About 10 days before I left for Texas in February I got brochitus. Went to the dr & got shots & medicine...3 days went by didn't work. Went back to the dr & got more shots & told them to do whatever they had to so I'd be well. I really didn't think they were going to do the surgery, but they did.

TAKE CARE & GET WELL!!
