Inga, I can't answer your questions, cause I'm sitting here on pins and

needles hoping that Dr. R accepts my pitiful stuff from my PCP, as well as my

letter, my contacts, etc. I believe I will soon have an ulcer!!! But, I

just wanted to say how cute you are! That was such a cute posting! If we

don't fight for ourselves, it's real clear, no one else will. So, you go

girl!!! PhillyJude

Dear Friends, I have called Wellpath twice this week and every time

the representative told me, " We are waiting on your PCP information "

I called the PCP's office manager and felt I got the old run around.

I called Wellpath today with the same info. Well, this fat chick

jumped(can you imagine??) into her van and took off to the PCP's

office. Man, I was ready to grab someone!!!! I got the run around

when I talked with the office manager and demanded she get my file

and look at what I had copied from Dr R's website as to the Dr letter

requirements, physical, history, etc. She handed me a THIN envelope

and told me that is what I need. THE ___ hit the fan!! I lost

it..oh, my goodness, am I turning into a B___? Anyway, big old me

would not move..and demanded she call Wellpath and talk with the

rep. Well, Wellpath set her straight and told her what they need.

She said she will fax it and I said, " Yes, while I watch! "

I told my dear sweetie about this and his comment was, " I bet there is

a lot you would like to say to others but you've stuffed it! " He's

on target, as ususal.

My question to you pre-op accepteds and post-ops is...will it make a

difference how much information from a Dr I get? Some of the Dr are

giving me entire contents of my file. Others are not. Am I too

anxious? Inga, calm down!! Advice?
