So Linda, the insurance coordinator submitted to insurance yesterday afternoon. I'm excited and nervous. She said I didn't have a "strong" 6 month diet so she didn't submit it. I called my insurance and they said I didn't need one. lol. I don't know why she told me I HAD to have one? I was stressing the past two weeks over it and I didn't even need one.

I would have submitted two weeks ago if I didn't NEED one. I had to track down my old doc. to send me my files. He took FOREVER.

Well, what happens happens.

She submitted all my preops and my 3 years at Weight Watchers, a holistic diet and my gym pass that I've had since 2008. Also 2 doctor recommendations for bariatric surgery. I didn't NEED them but I went and got them anyways.

So now I'm just WAITING and its horrible. Usually it takes a week, my insurance is pretty quick. I'm all nerves. I'm staying AWAY from the kitchen (or I'll start munchin) such a nervous eater.

I'll be sure to let you all know what happens.
Thanx to all for your support so far. Its been an emotional rollercoaster and I'm not even SLEEVED yet. lol
But TRULY thank you for your support.

Am crossing my fingers, arms, toes, legs and even my titties (lol gin).

Take Care

P.S: To all my buddies who have been sleeved... you guys are doing FAN-TABULOUS.
Everyone preop dealing with insurance or getting geared up for surgery... its going to happen. <3

And anxous. There's nothing for me to do but wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. lol There submitting to insurance by the end of this week OR beg. of next week. Waiting for my Medically superviced diet doctor to send my paperwork then last test, endoscpy on friday.

Wish I had some AMAZING news to report but eh.

Did my nutritional class today. It was fun, have a really good nut and am very happy

Getting the last of my bundle I'm submitting to my insurance. (Past weightloss attempts, got a TON of them) lol. I'm putting my gym in there too. Its been a stressful rollercoaster these past weeks. Found out insurance requires a 6 month diet, so I thank God my mom made me do one last year as a "last resort" diet. At the time I hated her for making me go and now I'm SOOO thankful.

Keep you all posted on my road to getting Sleeved.

Take Care and keep kicking butt.

Were today. Went to Lab where nurse bruised the crap out of me, I never bruise and its very easy to draw blood from me. I just had an incompentant nurse. Then I went to get my EKG, it was easy they put stickies on my chest and sides, nurse was an ass though. She saw my folder that read, Bariatric Center and she started just being an ignorant bitch. SHe said I should do it the "right way". Saying she was the same age as me and that I just need to eat right and exercise. I tried to be humorous about it. "Oh my God, thats all it was Diet and exercise," I replied with a laugh. She didn't find it funny, my smart ass ness. lol

She continued by saying she's gained weigh since her pregancy and after her birth she would go on a diet and exercise. I never met a person who was so belligerent towards WLS, I'm sad I got to see it but glad at the same time.

The next was abdominal ultrasound which was painful because I hold all my weight in my waste and back. SHe dug into me all over and told me to breath in deep to get a better picture. I will be sore tomorrow. It was embarrassing too, the hanging belly all out for her and her assistant to see.

Thinking things couldn't get more embarrassing, I went for my last test of the day, chest xray. Now let me break down my humiliation...
1. Gound didn't fit, too embarrassed to ask for a biggy, so doubled up, one in back, one in front.
2. Belt didn't fit around my waiste, so I had to hold it behind me, then when I took my side profile, he built a makeshift stand from a chair to hang behind me.

All the while, at every embarrassing humiliating moment I kept thinking, this is the last time I'll have to deal with this. Cringeing about my wait.

All in all, last two I made sure to turn my patient folder over so they wouldn't ask me questions. Its not that I'm ashamed to get this surgery, I'm pretty damn happy and vocal about it, I just don't want to be questioned about it from complete strangers. Especailly strangers that are dicks.

So, I'm very happy. I only have 2 more preops, upper endoscopy on the 28th and nutritional class this saturday. Insurance submits on the 24th, so hopeing to have surgery mid february or early March.

Thanks for listening to my rants.
Everyone keep kicking butt on your WL journeys.
Take care
Its going to happen

I'm doing four preops tomorrow, chest xray, EKG, Abdominal xray and labs . A little nervous, but all should be well. Then this saturday have my nutritional class. On the 28th is my last preop, upper endoscopy. I'm pretty happy I'm getting all this stuff over with. It makes me feel like I'm moving right along.

On the 24th, next Monday, there submitting me for approval. I've compiles a nice pile of failed weightloss attempts and even put in my gym membership that I've had for three years. lol So I feel pretty good about approval, cross your fingers.

My BMI's at 47, yup, I'm a biggin. I'm shocked a bit cause last time I checked my BMI was in 2008 when I lost 64 pounds on WW's, it was 40. What two years can do.

Loading an update to my vlog on youtube as we speak and probably the 29th or 30th, I'll put up a preop test vlog.

Long story short.

My first surgeon fell through becuase of Insurance woes and now I'm with a new one... Asok Doraiwamy. Very happy that he's the dude thats going to cut me up. I had my consult with him on Friday... they weighed me... 295... OMFG!!!!
So he and his office know my time constraint and put me on the "fast pass" lol. I have all my preops scheduled the next two weeks and they accepted my psyc and nut eval from before. Yay.
Big shout out to Linda, the surgery coordinator. Love you girly.
I am nervous but very excited.
I am hoping to have surgery late february to early march. Thats what my surgeon office is telling me. Hope it holds true. On the 24th they're submitting my info. to insurance. Keep your fingers crossed.
Everyone take care and I will be posting a new vlog this monday night.

Thanks

I'm doing my Preops right now. I'm really excited. If everything runs smoothly Surgeon says I will be Sleeved in February. So move over February Sleevers, I'm coming to the bench soon. YAY!!!!
Things have been a bit frustrating getting the ball rolling on my surgery. I may have to go to my second choice surgeon. I don't find out until next Saturday. Basically, my surgeon now, Feiz is renewing his contract with my insurance company right now and I don't find out till the 15th if he can do my surgery.
So I'm praying everything goes well. Right now I'm still doing my preops for him, but I have a consult with another surgeon on the same day (2/15). So then I'll know whether to go with Fiez or my new one.
Both have been awesome and are going to squeeze me in before my dreaded deadline... April 11th. So I'm excited. VERY VERY VERY excited. Its really going to happen.

So everyone take care. I will be updating you all soon with even more better news.

Its the SUCKIEST time for my cheap ass not to pay my internet bill lol. Also trying to find out if my insurance covers the sleeve. I wrote a post on the VSG forum and will be checking it like every 5 mins. lol

So this morning I trugded to the bathroom, opened the door and looked down at the evil >:D bathroom scale. I sighed and took off my jammi bottoms then stepped up on it. I waited for the dreaded beep and once I heard it looked down... Da Da DAAAAAA!

I lost 2 pounds since last sunday. LMFAO

I thought with all the holiday fudge and orderves and tamales and cupckaes ect... I'de be up in the 290's for sure, but no, I've gone from 290 to 288. HEEEE- LARIOUS.

Thought I should share that with you all. There's even SV's Preop. : )

Hello OH friends,
I have had a VERY merry Christmas. I FINALLY settled with the company for my Final paycheck. YAY. And I STILL haven't Binged since August (Double Yay). Its been a really great Christmas. We had a scare on the 23rd, my grammy went to emergency because her potassium level was dangerously low. They replenished her and she barely made it to Christmas Eve at my aunts looking sassy frassy. her 82 year old fanny kicked butt at pictionary too (my little picasso).

Food wise, I've done well, been staying away from the scale BUT I'm going to... (da da ta!) tomorrow morning.

Plus, I'm leaving for New Years in Vegas on the 29th. One word... BUFFETS! I'm a little apprehensive but I've done so well these past holidays that I think I'm good. Tomorrow I'm jumping back on track with the food. I've gone a little crazy but I just dont want to feel like an elephant when I'm there. lol

As for surgery, I'm ready and willing to get this show on the road. I'm waiting for my insurance ID number write now. I keep running to the mail box to see if they sent it yet. lol Once I have that I talk to my surgeons coordinator and she gets my preops rolling. I just talked to her on wednesday and she said to give her my insurance id # and she'll start scheduling me for my preops. She knows my situation, my time constraint and is going to try and get all my preops finished in three weeks. I'm ready to go for it. Just want to be sleeved already. lol

I also took LOTS of pictures today and Christmas Eve so I can have before for my afters. When I was getting ready for Christmas Eve I looked in the mirror and realized this is going to be my last christmas fat. My last Christmas trying to find something to wear, feel self concious and feeling like crap. I was such a relief to know that its going to happen. 2011 is my year.

Take Care all and have a Happy New Year.
Its going to happen... 2011
