Got a call from my surgeons office today saying "IVE BEEN APPROVED!!"
I am jumping up and down and I've been on cloud nine ALL DAY !~!!

I have a class on July 11th  at my surgeons office going over what to expect before, during and after surgery....She told me today that your surgery date is usually about two weeks after this class... that will put me at the end of JULY.....which is perfect.!!! Escrow closes on our new house on July 15th, so hopefully we'll get all moved and shortly after I'll have surgery and be able to stay home for a few weeks or so in my new house.... YIPPEEE !!!

Thanks everyone for your encouragement and support. !!...
lots of hugsssss

Well,
I got a letter from the medical group this past saturday. It stated "need extention to make decision, more infomation needed" Been here, done that right before they denied my Surgeon consult.... I am soo discouraged !! They were referring to my 6 month physician supervised diet. Same problem that I had before...  :(  If I have any advice for anyone that is trying to get approval for surgery...MAKE SURE THAT YOUR DOCTOR (PCP or SURGEON) DOCUMENTS TO THE INSURANCE STANDARDS FROM YOUR VERY FIRST APPOINTMENT month 1 of 6 and every month thereafter, ask your doctor for a copy of their docs from each and every appt...have make changes or add info that day if needed....

Anyhow,
I called my surgeon's office yesterday and couldn't get a person on the phone so I drove 30 minutes one way to their office and talked to someone in person...I also took ALL my documentation with me and told them to resubmit with everything... Hopefully they will and I will have an approval soon... I will be crushed if it comes back DENIED !!!
Please keep me in your prayers as I do for all of you :)
Thank you!!
Hugsssss

Had my psych eval. 5/28 and they didn't keep me, so I guess that was a good sign...lol...
I think it went well... The psychiatrist was extremely nice, very easy to talk too and was very, very easy to look at... :o)  
So, Im am done with my testing... Just have the two classes to attend on June 10th and 11th.. I will be calling my surgeons office on the 12th to remind that everything is complete and hopefully they will submit for surgery right away... so excited !!! 
        Trying to stay positive :) 
July would be a good time to have surgery since my 13 yr old will be out of school.. He can be mom's lil' helper ( well not so lil' these days, he's passed me in height by a couple inces..haha)

I went to my CPAP machine training class today..... Oh joy !! I should be starting my machine tonight but "OOpppsss" I forgot to buy distilled water...
As much as I dont really want to use the thing I know that I need to at least try.... I'll give it a whirl tomorrow night and let ya all know how it works out....    :o)

Hugggsssss ...
