I am approved!!!!

WOW.........I didn't think it would be that quick, but I am definately not complaining.  I feel so blessed right now.  I found out while I was at work today and couldn't concentrate on my work at all from the excitement.  I didn't get much accomplished after the wonderful news.  I have been on this website for a while reading all the other blogs feeling encouraged by the struggles and accomplishments of others and now I feel like it's my turn.......finally......my turn.  I feel like now I can be a inspiration to someone else who may be considering WLS.  I am definately excited to now say I will soon be on the loser's bench!!  So until next post..................................SMOOCHES!!

PAPERWORK SUBMITTED!!!!!!!
on March 29, 2008 9:29 pm

My paperwork has been submitted to my insurance company............and now I wait.  I am having a lot of mixed emotions right now.  On one hand I am worried that my insurance company for whatever reasons will not approve me, and on the other hand I'm thinking OMG I'm getting ready to have major surgery.  I'm trying to stay busy with other things to keep my mind preoccupied, but it's hard not to think about it.  I have been preparing myself so long for this moment and still I worry.  I don't know if I'm really worried or nervous or anxious.  JUST A BIG BALL OF MIXED EMOTIONS!!!!  I'll be just fine though, it's all in God's control.  Hopefully the next time I post, I will posting with some wonderful news.  Until then....................Smooches!!!

Month 6!!!!!!
on March 1, 2008 4:18 am
I am here.........I have made it!!!!!!  I will receive my psyche on the 7th from my psychologist and I will go to my final weight watchers meeting on the 8th.  First thing that following Monday I will be submitting all my info to Dr. Halmi's office to be submitted to my insurance company.  I will patiently wait for my approval........HA HA........who am I kidding!!!!  I hope they give an approval the same week. I thought I would have quit by now, but I'm very proud to say, I'm still hanging in there.  My psyche evaluation was not at all what I expected.  Together we discovered when I first started gaining the weight and looking for food as my comfort, my friend, my father.  He told me some of the issues that may arise after I have the surgery, with family, friends, even co-workers.  So, the meeting for me was more of an awakening experience.  I will probably will continue going to him even after the surgery to help me sort out and deal with a lot of deeply rooted issues.  This way I can finally have help getting the weight off with the surgery and have help keeping it off my psychologist.  I will post again when I get the approval from my insurance company and a date from Dr. Halmi.

Until next post.............................Toodles!!!!!!!Sexy
