Well, I got my dates! I was so excited when I finally got them I was doing a happy dance. They were scheduled for September 10th for my PAT and September 25th for my surgery. They I got another call from the scheduler and she wanted to see if I was willing to change the dates. My heart sank into my chest, would they really push me back further. I was worried. They she said she had a few openings for August 14 for PAT and August 29th for surgery. I was so relieved! And of course I jumped at the chance to have it sooner. I am so excited and anxious that the day won't come soon enough. After 3 years of waiting and trying to find the right doctor, this really is going to happen!! This time next year I will be healthier then I currently am. I will be able to walk without pain and I can stop most if not all my meds. I can't wait!

Well it was just sent to scheduling  early monday morning. So how I am just waiting to receive the call. I can't wait. I am nervous and excited and impatience all at once. I don't know which is more prominate. All I know is it can't come soon enough for me. I know Dr Pop has to approve everything first and then they figure out copays and they schedule, but I think I will lite a fire under their seats. I will wait until Wednesday first though. I have to give more than one day. So I think the 3rd day is good. Don't you? Wish me LUCK!! 

I got my letter(s) for approval today. Only because I called insurance and had them faxed to me. I was to impaiticent to wait another day.  I wanted this to move along. So I helped. Hehe!

I deserve a round of applause,  I went tothe store just a few minutes ago because my kids and husband wanted to get some ice cream. And I resisted the rurge to get some for myself. And I really wanted to get some! When it is hot like it is now, something cold always sounds good. But I will drink my ice tea and water and be happy with them. I can't give in to every little craving, that's part of what got me in this mess of fatness I call skin. (Sorry, I am so blunt, but I am fat, not over weight!) But the point is that I said no to ice cream which for me is hard.

Now that I know it has been summitted to insurance I now have to wait for the approval. THIS IS KILLING ME!!!! I talked with my nurse (through my insurance plan) yesterday and she said I should know within a week wheater or not I have been approved. I don't see a problem with it being approved, but you never know for sure until you get that letter or call.
