Finally!!!! I have funding!!! (x-post)
Hey gang,
I'm x-posting this from the RNY boards as I settle in and get to know my VSG surgery buddies. I'm excited!
After 7 years of research and 3 different failed attempts to get surgery authorized through 3 different insurers, I have finally managed to secure funding for self-pay with a wonderful surgeon in Belgium with a great track record. After 7 years of fighting, everything seemed to fall in place in the span of a week. Isn't that always how it works? I am in the process of scheduling preop testing and am hoping for a date in May!
It still doesn't feel real. It probably won't until the day of surgery. Either way, I am excited and relieved. I can finally hang up my fighting gloves and put on some lifting gloves. Give me another 4 weeks and I'll be eyeballing a spot on the losers bench. I'm not worried though, all you skinny minnies are forever making more room on there!
CELEBRATE!

In-deed! That's the price I pay for being moderately healthy despite my weight. My last insurer flat out said they'd only cover it if it was life or death scenario. I explained that it was, but it wasn't on their timeline! In the end, I know I am getting the right surgery for me with the right surgeon for me. It's the long, windy road, but it's mine! =D
Thanks for the well wishes!
