Submitted to INSURANCE

Well, on the 15th of December, I went to see the dietician. We talked about my eating habits and all of the necessary vitamins and protien that I am going to need after surgery. I feel like the appointment was informative. She answered a ton of my questions. It was definetly worth the $7o spent to see her.
On the 23rd of December, I was finally able to have my labs drawn. I had gone by several times on my way to work, but they were really crowded and so I had to keep coming back. Finally I had it done so that was good. The technician took tons of blood. The final count was 17 vials!
On January 4, I had to go see the doctor again to go over my labs and to submit the authorization to insurance. Man was this appointment shocking! The first issue was that I am completely vitamin deficient in all areas except calcium. So I have to start taking vitamins. Then it came to my liver function, my levels were elevated. Then came my thyroid! OMGosh! The PA proceeds to tell me that my test results for my thyroid are disturbing and that I need to go see my PCP to figure out what the issue is. They will not do surgery until my thyroid is ok. So, I am now crying. I have come so close and now I am at a standstill!!! The PA tells me that they will not submit to insurance until this is cleared up. Apparently she felt bad for me because she left the room to go talk to the insurance girl. She comes back in and says that they will submit to insurance but they will not move forward with surgery until I am all clear. (insurance approval can take 60 days) So, she also tells me that she will call my PCP to let him know the status of things. I also call my PCP.
About an hour later, I hear from my PCP (Dr. Desai). Dr. Desai tells me that the test results make no sense. The contradict each other. He wants me to retake them. So, that night, I had my labs drawn.
Yesterday morning I call Dr. Desai to let him know that I had done my labs. So, several hours later he calls me. he said that my thyroid is fine but that my liver function has doubled in the last 3 weeks. We have a problem! So, he tells me that this may be caused by me being sick recently and all of the meds that they had me on and that the birth control pill that I am taking to regulate my period will definitely cause me to have an elevated amount of liver enzymes. He then tells me that he will be calling my OB/GYN (Dr. Cueto) to see what he wants to do about the birth control because as far as Dr. Desai is concerned, he wants me to stop it NOW. 5 minutes later, Dr. Cueto calls. He tells me that my liver function is way too high and I need to stop taking bc today. I then beg him to allow me to go on Depo Provera so that I do not start bleeding uncontrollably again. After a bit of hesitation, he decides to let me do it. So now I am completely off of bc pills.
I am supposed to have my blood re drawn in a couple of weeks to see what is going on with it. I am praying that everything turns out ok. I want to have this surgery so badly and so to not have it would devastate me. I am trying to remember that Heavenly Father's will is what is going to happen. Sometimes it is just so hard when you want your own will to be done!
Anyway, at this point, insurance has the paperwork. I hope and pray that they will approve the surgery quickly and that I am able to move forward onto this journey!
