On My Way!

Sep 07, 2014

About two weeks ago I finally met with the nutritionist for the last time.  Then, on Friday (2 days ago) I met with the surgeon for our "decision visit".  Turns out my insurance only pays for one kind of surgery, so the decision was pretty easy to make.  I'm getting the full on Gastric Bypass surgery, not the sleeve.  In all since I've started this journey, I've lost 3 pounds on my own.  Sounds lame, I know, but hey a little is better than nothing.  Now I start the little bit of wait it takes for my insurance to actually approve the surgery.  Since I've done all the things required, and my BMI is (way) over 35 (it's at 53 right now) my surgeon seems to think that I'll get approved without having to fight for it.  Still, the waiting game is so irritating.  I'm so close... so so close and now I'm afraid some random act of fate will take it away from me.  That's why I haven't been very vocal about the fact I'm getting it, and I haven't been optimistic at all.  Simply going through the motions, because deep in my heart, I know something will come forth to take it away from me, just like the other 3 times I attempted to have it done.

Granted, this is the farthest I've ever gotten to getting it.

Wish me luck everyone, I'll update again when my insurance comes back with an answer.
