  • Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.

If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

New Insurance, New Consult

So it's been quite some time since I have done an update, and unfortunately no surgery yet. A few things occurred that hindered things, and one was my mother getting into a car accident. She broke her femur, and needed me to help out so I decided to put trying for the surgery aside.

So now things are semi back to normal, shes home bound, my kid is at the age of using the microwave, and I am now with Kaiser Permanente. Getting the surgery wasn't on my mind at the time I went to see my GYN fir my first visit, but she was the one who took a look at the girls and suggested I had the reduction.. She put in the referral the same day as my appt, and about a week later I got a call for a consult. I've read in various post that a class was needed before the consult, but I guess I lucked up. So now my appt is tomorrow, I'm hoping to leave with good news. Only thing is that I have a new job I've been at for now 3 months. My boss know about my back issues, and how I want the surgery. I told him I would wait until December for the surgery if I had the option, but really.... If they gave me a sooner date, I have to go for it. I plan on looking for a new job anyway so while I'm healing, I'll be job hunting lol. Ahhh fingers crossed guys.. I'll be back tomorrow with an update.

So I called my provider..

They keep saying they have not received anything from the surgeon, if they did it would be in the system... It's just a bunch of back and forth right now. I'm about to call the PS to get some clarification. Less than 2 weeks left, I'm going to get my blood work and physical today and the PS is saying I need further documentation but what kind if my provider is saying they have nothing?

UGH..

Going To The Dr Tomorrow

So tomorrow I'll be heading to my Dr. so he can submit a letter since my provider needed more documentation. I'm just going to have him add all the issues I've had and how long I've had them. It already states in my records of back issues. I did get x-rays years back also. I might have to call them to fax my results over if they have them. I really don't need physical therapy because i do yoga and work out so I don't see the point in wasting time or money in that. Either way tomorrow is GO TIME. After my appt, I'm going straight to get my blood work done. I haven't given up yet.. The clock is ticking..
