Update Number.. Uhm.. I Lost Count..

Update on the "Official Investigation":

So here's the scoop.  On Wednesday, the "Firm" launched an official "investigation" (incident report) into the reason why I hadn't heard diddly squat from my insurance company in almost six weeks regarding my inquiry into lap band surgery.  So far here is the result.  The insurance company insists that they had received my request and records on June 7th, and that it takes ten days to process the request.  Since then, they have requested not two (as stated in the written requirements) but three years of weight history from my primary care physician - which was faxed to them late yesterday.  Thankfully for me I had been seeing this physician for over three years!  Whew!  I say "thankfully" because other than my marriage, I'm usually not that committed.  BUT, the Insurance Guru from the Bariatric office has insisted that she formally submitted my information to the insurance company in late May......  Therein lies the discrepancy..  I really loathe this crap - really, I do.  So that is where we stand.  Ten business days from June 7th is Monday...  We shall see....  I'm not holding my breath.  But I do have the "big guns" making the calls now, which is a good thing, I suppose.

On to bigger and better things.  Well, maybe not "bigger", but better.  We spent most of this week with our GrandAngel.  And if I said it once, I'll say it a thousand times - don't spend your hard earned money on a gym membership - rent or find yourself an energetic two year old - I'm sure there are many a parent out there who would be more than glad to pass one out for an afternoon or so!!  I have lost three pounds this week just trying to keep up with him!  Eating??  fahgetabahtit!  You're not going to eat anything without them saying "want some??" and then giving it up to them!  And I think I've chased him around the house about a bazillion times as HE chased the coon hound - wanting to ride him...  The hound is pretty laid back for the most part, but I'm sure he can only take being poked in the eyes so many times...  "Grammy!  Eyes!  His Eyes!"  I think the hound has taken to hiding these days...

Today we took the Munchkin to visit the parents down in the 'Burgh..  They haven't seen him in awhile and we all had a pretty terrific time together..  I'm sure they had gone to bed within minutes of our leaving though - they had that "look" about them..  The GrandAngel does that to people...

Soooo, that's what's going on in LisaLand..  I hope all is well in your world!

Until Next Time!
