Today is Feb. 20th and I have been approved by the insurance co... What a long long road it has been... It was 18 months ago, in Cyprus, that I first decided I wanted to have this surgery done. After moving back to the US to have it done it turned into a circus with me the "biggest" clown. Most of the delays were my fault; like knowing that I have to have a 6 mo. diet monitored... duh! and then being fired by my family doctor for adding a test to a blood order.. (one that the insurance co told me I would need)... After that incident, and taking a month to find another dr. I have to start the diet all over again, after being on 4 months... All said and done it has been a nightmare... Lots of problems towards the end, with the Bariatric center, believe it or not. The patient advisor was a real pain in my big ass, but after I contacted the "coordinator" of the center things started to happen.
Last Saturday, Valentines Day, was my 59th birthday... and on Monday the 16th I got word that I was approved... what a birthday present...
I have 4 new friends on my friends list and plan to go on this daily to make more wonderful friends... I will be adding to this story soon, WITH A SURGERY DATE!!!!
What a long road it has been but I am so happy it all seems like a bad nightmare....Thank you God and Jesus!
