Today is May 7th, and I have been waiting on my Insurance approval. It sure has been sometime. I am keeping my faith that one day SOMEBODY will call me and SAY "YOU ARE APPROVED" but until then..ANYDAY NOW! On Tuesday I will be calling the Surgeons office to get any update on the insurance approval..I was told to wait 30 days and it has been 30 days "CALENDAR DAYS" I suppose they mean BUSINESS days..Of Course ...I will keep you all informed once I get some news.

Update on my journey
Feb 28, 2011
Lately everything seems to be moving along perfectly. Nutrition consultation was wonderful, I learned so much on what I already like to eat rather than NOT eating. Worked on a perfect diet for myself (NO CARB) go figure, Im a CARB Junky lol.
Next on my list to complete before surgery is my Psych Consulation, this should be a breeze, all I have ever done is prepare for this surgery. According to my Insurance, a letter from my PCP and Nutrition Consult and Psych is all I need and it sure feels like its FOREVER.
I have started the Atkins Diet to lose some pounds before surgery. Having to lose 8 lbs before surgery so the doctor can schedule?? you know that wasnt the hard part...its more of sticking to a plan. I always told myself, "you know how to lose weight" so whats the problem?" well on that note, I am sticking to this plan and not backing down for anything.
I am planning to follow through this till the mid month of March and go back in for my weigh in and SEND OFF for Inurance approval :).....
Keep me in your spirits and send me some encouragement, to motivate and push me through. I sure need it sometimes.
