Guess what??????

I saw the dietitian last week (for the 3rd time) on Thursday 4-7 @ 11 AM, my last thing to do before sending off for insurance approval. I worked all weekend, yesterday and today. Well, last night hubby tells me I have a message from Liv-Lite. I call them this morning and she tells me I am APPROVED for the RNY!!!!!! Now they already knew this yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! From Thursday to Monday!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry for the gloat to anyone that is still jumping through hoops. How kewl!!!!!!!! Anyway they were ready for me to come in next week to get moving on the next step. Seeing the consulting MD, getting scheduled for the EGD and setting up a time with the surgeon. I really need to wait until July (finances, work, and hubbies school schedule) so I'm just going to keep my apt for May 5 with the dietitian again and then start to set the rest of it up. I'm so jazzed......wish I could go ahead now, but really need to save up a little more first since I used all my sick time last month.

Congratulations! Good luck and best wishes on your new life. It will be one year for me at the end of this month and I think it was the best thing I have ever done in my life. The end result is worth it!

Congratulations, girl. It took me 8 months to get final approval, I had to appeal 3 times. It is WELL worth the wait. Good luck to you. Karen, RN - 74 lbs
