Just some news

Hi everyone is me again....sorry i haven't been on...sort of having a sorry for me week. But did talk to Insurance today and they said that they were waiting on me for some sort of authorization paper... They mail one to me on Friday and told me that i should get it sometime this week, maybe tomorrow. So as soon as i get it to fax it and then have Dr.H's office call....So I called Margie and let her know what was going on. So now I have my hopes up again. Margie did tell me that she has everything scheduled and ready to go...Man I could just cry over this...I want this sooooo bad and just hate the run around....But one good thing my BP is starting to drop and I am starting to feel alot better...Headache is still there and all the other pains but I'm still hanging in there. Any how...you all are as updated as I am...So send some prayer my way it you dint mind, I'm thinking that I'm going to need then to get through this. I know alot of you have waited along long time for this to be done..so maybe I'm just being selfish. Thanks for the support...hugs to all

Hi Cor, This is such an emotional roller coaster ride, especially pre-op waiting to hear if you've been approved.  This surgery is such a life saver for most people, and we've been so miserable in our own skin for so long, it's hard not to be extremelly anxious.  I cried for a good 2 days straight while I was waiting.  My Dr. office had sent my preauthorization to insurance but the insurance kept saying that they didn't have it, untill one day it miraculously showed up & I was approved. 

That is great news about your BP.  After my surgery my BP gets a little low now.  lol  crazy huh?  I think my sugars get a little low now too.  I need to get that checked out.

You're not being selfish.  Like I said, it's really hard not to get excited & our hopes up.  I will keep you in my prayers for quick approval and peace of mind.   (((HUGS))) Angy

Cor you are not being selfisht at all. you need something done for your health and your trying to get it done... all we can do as your friends is pray and that we will do. hope you hear something soon. ....good that the blood pressure is coming down...

Cor, honey I just want you to keep your head up.  This is something worth fighting for.  If it wasn't there would be no speedbumps.  This is just a little speed bump in the journey to the rest of your (HEALTHY) life.  I too had lots of speedbumps and was turned down by a few surgeons.  (You can read my story on my profile)  But I hung in there and I can tell you it was SOOOOOOOOOO worth it.  I finally had surgery 1/22/08 and went from 557lbs to around 340ish.  I went from size 6x tops and bottoms to size 3-4x tops and 4x bottoms.  I'm not going to sugar coat it for you, It wasn't easy and still isn't.  But I can tell you that every speedbump was worth struggling over. 

Soon you too will be on the other side of this speedbump looiking back and thinking "wow I really did have the surgery and I'm on my way now".  Just keep your eye on the prize and before you know it you'll be going to the hospital to have surgery.

Take Care.

ps.  Anything worth having is worth fighting for!

You all are sooo good and quick...and yes this is just a speed bump...the hard thing about this is that i am penciled in for surgery and all the pre ops tests...but i dont dare say anything or get excited. Im not done fighting about it though if i get denied again...I pay my insurance and I going to fight for it!!! There hows that for being positive...lol Again thanks for the support....

Cor, there is absolutely nothing selfish about wanting your health back...hang in there and it will happen for you. I like the new positive attitude...Sport a 'tude' girl! lol! The bunch on this board will definately keep you lifted in prayer. The only thing you have to do is keep us lifted with all our requests too! lol  And believe me that is almost a full time job!

Sis, hope the study goes well tonight! love ya!
