Hi everyone, this is my first time posting here. I am scheduled for surgery this Friday 4/11/08. I am so excited! A little about me, I am a 36yr old single mom. My daughter is 8 & my son is 14.
My surgery will be at Blake Memorial hospital in Bradenton, FL. My Dr is Dr. Gary Bunch and his partner Dr. Erbella.
I have been researching since last June and filed for ins approval for the first time in Dec. My insurance process was a huge fight, 1st application 12/07,denied 1/4,1st appeal 1/8,denied 1/11, 2nd appeal approved verbally 1/21 just to be rescinded 2/7, 3rd appeal 2/7,approved in writing 2/22. I didnt think it would ever go thru! I think UHC hoped I would give up, but I am a fighter, not a quitter.
I cant wait to get to know all of you and hopefully make some new friends to go thru this with together.
