Still waiting...
Jul 14, 2010
So I was all set, the work was done, all the appointments were over with...then came disapointment. The insurance did not approve my surgery...I was so mad! Come to find out the insurance changed their procedure requirements for the RNY in April and no one notified me or my surgeon. Well, I thought that I should be an exception since I had started the process in February...nope they still say that I have to do three extra months. I took off school this summer because I was certain that I would be able to have the surgery. Now if I am even approved I will not be able to have it till the end of August...right when my nursing clinicals start. Some people are telling me to wait to have the surgery because of clinicals but there is no way I am doing that. I have been wanting to have this surgery since I was in high school...just always too scared to actually do it. So this coming week I am going to yet another two appointments....maybe she will send out stuff to the insurance company this week...that would be sooooo awesome! I can definitely say that I am ready!!!! I am scared but ready! I just hope that I am strong enough to do what I need to do after the surgery....I am such a pessimist and feel like I am going to fail. I don't know I guess since I have been overweight since I was a child it is hard to believe that I have the ability to be thinner and more healthy...I feel like it may be too good to be true :(
