Re: OLYMPIA DRIVES ME NUTS! cross post

Sandy,

Your insurance company definitely has 'bureaucratic' written all over it! Even

though they're not waiting for an actual LOMN, it does sound like they're at

least sort of listening now.

Good luck! *hugs*

it. Again they say Dr. has applied for my surgery. They reiterate

that the surgery has been denied but thank heavens they at least said it was

because there wasn't enough information!

the most appropriate surgery. You may re-apply with this evaluation. "

will put the real application for surgery in very soon.

packet with the application. In that packet I challenge having to wait to go

see Dr. Schrock because it's foolish to make me wait to talk to a Doctor that

does not do the DS when there are not one but TWO bariatric specialists that DO

the DS saying lets go with this!!!

envelope is May 15!!! The letter is 14 lines long with inch and a half margins!

Talk about slow transcribers! ROFLLLL
