Finally have a date

Mar 29, 2009

Oh silly me.  I thought in 2007 it was a done deal.  I have been working on getting the surgery now for 1 1/2 years.  My insurance carrier, Cigna, required a six-month diet with monthly visits to my doctor and documentation of everything I ate everyday.  That proved too much for my life.  My job, family and day to day stresses just did not work together.  In Oct. of 2008, I discovered I could change my insurance to United Health Care which covered the surgery with 5 years dr visits and weight.  I already had that so I changed my insurance to UHC.  I went through all the testing again, blood work, psych visit, wls seminar.  Finally a surgeon visit and a date.  April 7.  I have been on the 2 week liquid diet since 3/24 and let me just say I am not fit for civilized conversation.  Everything irritates me.  Can't wait for the surgery so I can just get on with it.
