Guest guest Posted June 6, 2000 Report Share Posted June 6, 2000 Hi . I will be praying for you. Believe me if I would have already had the surgery I would email you with my experience. I don't think your insurance will back out because if they do you will be able to easily fight them. They know that. They also know that if you don't have the surgery, you will be a large drain on their pocketbooks. You might could use some of the postop posts from people about their hospital experience for your patient contacts. I emailed 30 people and 15 replied back. I usually go overboard though.

Will someone please help me? I am just so afraid right now. >> No, you need a physical, a mammogram if your PCP recommends it, you need bloodwork and an EKG done within 30 days of your surgery date. Try to calm down, get out your patient manuel and go to the requirement section and just check off the things you know you have down and then work toward the things that need to be done. you can also access the steps to be done at the clos.net site. I wish you much luck and you will be in my prayers!!!!!!!!!!

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2000 Report Share Posted June 6, 2000 Thanks again , This is a promise from me; " I will always be there " . That is basically the same thing I did. I was contacting people from the list, one lady, I have contacted 4 times. Not just for the contacts, but I had read her profile way back when and I E-mailed her this letter pouring my heart out and I never heard a thing. My thoughts and feelings are so deep, I cant wait to be there for others. God bless you . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
