After much back and forth and what I consider many unnecessary delays I have finally been approved for top surgery!
The interactions I've had between the medical group, the insurance (HMO) and the surgeon's office were frustrating and tedious, to say the least. It's taken 9 months to get to this point. Thats's insane to me. Living in California I certainly expected the process to work better than it has.
I thought I would be ecstatic upon hearing the news. And I think that I am, but in a very guarded way. So many things have gone wrong that I am not convinced it will go smoothly from this point forward.
Nonetheless, I am going to continue with my patience and persevere through whatever else gets thrown my way. I'm hoping to get an idea of the scheduling window next week. The surgeon is a busy guy, probably looking at another 3 month wait.
