Inch by Inch

Step by Step....well, a little more progress today with my insurance company. I guess they were not able to locate one of the reports, so it was resent.  So now that they have all the paperwork, it will go to the reviewer on Monday morning, this waiting is making me crazy  .  I asked the person that was taking care of my file at the insurance company what my chances were of getting approved?  Her reply was "It looks like a good probability, and I have made the requirements."  But she said as soon as she heard something that she would call me directly.   So, here I sit hoping and praying that I will be approved on Monday.  I also had to inquire what to do, since it looks like I would not get my surgery prior to the end of the year and would have to wait until March.  She said that the only thing that would need to be done to extend the authorization would be to submit the request for authorization form again.    

The wait is the worst wart of it all. I hope they call you with the great news on Monday. My fingers are crossed some way you can get it a.s.a.p. Good luck !

Do you remember that old Tom Petty song?  "The Waiting is the Hardest Part."  And boy is it. But this sounds like a Christmas present in the making.  Hope you hear what you want to hear real soon.

Keeping my fingers crossed that you receive an early Christmas gift. Hugs,  Lisa       

Wendi, praying that you hear something soon and it's good news!!!

First off, I would like to say thank you to everyone on this board.  You all are amazing women and I feel the love and support from each and every one of you.  It is nice to come here and talk to those who have a clear understanding of what one is going through.

While I am excited to take this trip of a life time, I am also scared to death.  I have a visual picture in my head of what I will look like when I reach goal.  This ranges from what I will do to what I will wear.  Then I think what will change mentally, emotionaly, and physically.  I find myself wondering what my husband will think of me, because his first wife was MO and is getting bigger.  That has caused my relationship to suffer with him as in the back of my little pea sized brain I have a fear that if I get much larger he will leave me for someone younger, prettier and much much thinner.  I look forward to the day that I can go somewhere with my 21 year old daughter and not be the old fat mom.  I look forward to the future and I will soon be receiving my bachelors degrees.  I have to figure out if I am going to keep going to school or what I will do.  I know that when I loose my weight, that new doors professionally will open up for me.  I apologize for the rambling, but this came from the mind of a possible pre op who is realizing how close she is to achieving a goal.
