Question:
Can anyone help with getting what I call

I'm sorry to bother everyone but I just needed someone to talk to. I'm waiting for my insurance letter to be mailed to my insurance company and they've had it for 3 weeks and it still hasn't been mailed. Sometimes I wonder if I'm ever going to get the surgery. Any suggestions on how to keep my spirits up? Thanks    — Rebekah A. (posted on July 12, 2002)

Please don't feel like you are bothering anyone. This website was designed to help one another answer questions. My surgeon's office drug their feet too. I just kept making phones calls to the office asking if the letter had been sent yet. I may have been a real pain in the rear, but I looked at it like this - if I was having any other type of surgery, the request would have been sent to the insurance company and I would have had approval within a couple of weeks. I was always very nice and polite - I just kept checking status. My initial consult was on March 26, 2002 and by May 9 I had a surgery date of August 26. Believe me, I know how frustrated you are. Just hang in there. Good Luck to you.
