My Story

 Well today I got the call i have been waiting for.. The call to say after all my hard work all year my insurance has approved me to have my surgery. I went to my Dr back in January of 2010. So sense then i have had to do a six month diet plain with him.. seen a few specialest Dr's to get there approval to make sure i was in ok health wise by them..  So on November 21,2010 i meet with surgeon Dr. and we talked about the different surgery's. so when i left that office that day i was happy that he said he would summit it to insurance to see if i would get approved.. and sure enough i was..  drs office called to tell me i was.. so later about 30 minutes later the Dr's office called me back to tell me that surgery will be on January 24,2012. I couldn't be happier..  So my new journey that began back in January of this year is begaing in a whole new way of January of next year..
