GREETINGS IN THE WONDERFUL NAME OF JESUS!!!
I have been Super Obese for a VERY LONG time. Unhappy for a VERY LONG time. Dissatisfied for a VERY LONG time. I got myself where I am ...and built a temple that is destined to fall. I am glad that God has made a way of escape and never leaves us even when we have left HIM.
I started my journey a long time ago and I decided it was time to detour from the same path. You know we can change our destiny..it's our choice!!! My Pastor says: "If you do what you've always done...you'll get what you've always gotten".
Thus, Sept 2005, I started on a road to WLS. Funny thing though, seems like yesterday that I started...made lots of progress mentally but physically...the success is yet to come!!
I am a mother of two wonderful children and a husband who is a MC-Dreamy!!! I love them dearly. God has been soooo good to me...better than I have been to myself.
Oct 24, 2006, I finally saw a surgeon (Dr Pirrello) for the first time. I feel confident that he will do wonderfully.
Oct 30, 2006, the surgeon's office submitted my paperwork to Cigna. I called the next day and Cigna said it was under review.
Oct 31, 2006, called Cigna and they said I was denied because all of the criteria was not met....which was not true. The surgeons office had a checklist and everything was done and sent.
Nov 6, the paperwork was sent back to Cigna. Nov 7, I called and Cigna said it was under review. Nov 8, APPROVED..get this : Cigna said it was aproved on the 30th????? some kinda mistake!!! I don't care what happened but I'm glad that GOD made it happen. Nove 9, my surgery date is scheduled for Dec 5. WOW....!!!!!!
I'm nervous...anxious...excited....and lots of other stuff I can't explain. My out of pocket is 2200.00 though and the hospital is NOT allowing payment...they want ONE LUMP SUM!!! KEEP ME IN YOUR PRAYERS!!!! I NEED THIS SURGERY!!!!
