Packet should have arrived today

[Guest guest]

Well, I though I was impatient before. Now that I have sent my

package and know that it should have been received today I can think

of nothing else. If I hear back from Dr. R. in the 7-10 days that

most people say it is taking that will be right at the same time I am

going before the Cigna Grievance Committee. I also just realized

that if I get to have surgery on Nov. 8 that I will already have a

good EKG done. My doctor requested I have one done because I have so

much trouble sleeping so I had it done this past Monday. The 8th of

November will make exactly 30 days since it was done. I am going for

a echo tomorrow. The cardiologist wants me to have the echo done. I

will have the results of that back by Friday. I will still need to

have my bloodwork done and I will be good to go....but then there is

still the Cigna problem. I meet with them on the 19th of October.

They said I will have an answer within 24 hours of the meeting. This

has felt like a very long time coming. I started the process in

February. I can feel myself getting so anxious. For some reason I

feel like I could just jump right out of my skin, which would

probably scare some people. Oh gosh, another realization, this also

means I only have 8 days before I go before the Grievance

committee!!! The 8 DAYS just clicked. Okay, sorry I'm ranting, just

one of those days. Guess I'll go for now until I can make a little

more sense.

Good Luck Rhonda, I have been waiting since February too and I had

Cigna. As happy as I am for our friends who are soon to be post-op,

I selfishly wish it was us long term pre-op's putting on our dancing

shoes. I lost to Cigna on appeal, but am changing insurance so I

will be able to go in January. , Denver, NC BMI 60
