Insurance Approval!

Dec 30, 2008

I received approval today from my insurance company (Aultcare) for RNY surgery! First request, this time, and it took less than 2 weeks from my initial consult with Dr Ben-Meir. I am a little surprised at how I feel about it though. This is something I really want, need and desire, but, at the same time opening that letter was a little reality jolt I guess. I am very happy this is moving forward so quickly and easily. However, I had this panic moment of "what in the world are you doing?, Is this really the right thing to do?" So I ask, is this normal? Should I liken it to cold feet before a wedding? I don't know what to think . I do know I truly want this. I need to put the brakes on some rapidly advancing medical problems and get healthy again. Nana has way to many things to do with 6 little grandkids than to sit in a chair and just watch them play! I am hoping to have my surgery done the end of Jan or beginning of Feb. Tomorrow I will call my Dr's office and start the next leg of this quest. :)
