FOUR referrals FOUR preauthorizations and an entire YEAR since my consultation and FINALLY i have an LOA. we gettin top surgery baby!!!!!!!!!!!
#in like four months. we’ll see what dates they give me to work with sometime this upcoming week#can’t complain about the four month wait time cause that’s pretty short compared to most places#(looking at UCSF who i called in Jan 2024 and their soonest CONSULTATION date was. late January 2026#only part that is annoying is that all these stupid voids and expirations and shit that have made the LOA take so long has pushed it#to where my soonest date is most likely gonna be in september#which just sucks cause I really wanted to get it done before fall semester starts so I don’t have to be down for the count#during too much of school and all that#also summer is the dead period at work so it’d be better on that front too. September’s probably gonna be pretty dead too though so w/e#at least Hopefully if my estimate is right I’ll be more or less back to normal by my birthday in november#augehdhhh as excited as I am thinking this far ahead is intimidating like I have so much shit to figure out by next year#like if I apply to grad school for fall 2026 I’d have to do it in January for a lot of places and that’s. not far.#the fact that I graduate in a year is really hitting me and it’s weird because I’ve been in college so fucking long#being Not in college feels. wrong. but I guess that’s where grad school comes into things#never expected to go to grad school but. I have no idea what else to do with my life so.#anyway. once I get that surgery date I will feel much more secure about things but this is a huge step forward and it’s taken so so so so#long.#to put it in perspective. my first LOA was cancelled when my dad dropped me from his insurance last year. second was voided when my preauth#expired (they gave me literally only 4 days and I filed a grievance about it) third attempt got voided due to a stupid clerical mishap.#so this is the fourth and thank god it took a much shorter amount of time than it had been previously. I’m assuming because of the grievance#and the fact that all this has taken so long now that if it’s pushed any further the risk of me losing my insurance via aging out is kind of#eminent.#rgrhaghhhhh if I didn’t have so much school shit to do id pop bottles tonite man. fuck#kibumblabs
