Telaunda H.
WELL LET MY BEGIN BY SAYING THAT I HAVE READ ALOT OF OTHER PEOPLE STORIES, AND I AM VERY HAPPY WITH THE PEOPLE THAT I HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY OF BECOMING MY FRIENDS. I HAVE BEEN ONE OF THE MANY THAT HAVE APPLIED FOR THE GASTRIC (BACK IN JULY 07) AND HAVE ALSO BEEN DENIED (DECEMBER 07), BY MY INSURANCE, SO I JUST GAVE UP BECAUSE MY INSURANCE WASN'T GOING TO CHANGE THERE MIND. SO I STARTED WORKING A NEW JOB WITH BETTER INSURANCE (UNITED HEALTH), AND DECIDED TO GIVE IT ANOTHER SHOT. SO I CALLED (JANURARY 09) CENNENTIAL CENTER FOR WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY TO SEE IF THEY COULD GET ME APPROVED FOR MY SURGERY. WELL AS USUALLY THEY WANTED ME TO DO ALL OF THE SAME THINGS OVER AGAIN (GATHER ALL THE PAPERWORK FOR MY ATTEMPTS ON LOSING WEIGHT, THE DOCTOR RECOMMENDATION, AND MY PSYCHOLOGICAL EVALUATION), AND I WAS LIKE I REALLY DON'T FEEL ALL THAT STUFF OVER AGAIN, SO I LEFT IT ALONE. WELL IN THE MEANTIME I JUSTWENT ABOUT MY DAILY ROUNTINE AND DID WHAT I NEEDED TO DO TO JUST MAINTAIN MY WEIGHT, AND NOT GAIN ANY MORE WEIGHT. WELL I RECEIVED A CALL TODAY (APRIL 28, 2009), AND THE VOICE ON THE OTHER END STATED THAT, WE GOT UR SURGERY APPROVED, AND I WAS LIKE WHAT SURGERY (CAUSE IT'S BEEN SO LONG I HAD FORGOT), AND SHE SAID YOUR BARIATRIC SURGERY, AND I WAS FLOORED AND SPEECHLESS, BUT I WAS TRULY HAPPY.
