Late Entry......

Dec 07, 2010

Hey OH fam,
So sorry for the delay but here is the verdict  First I had to reschedule my previous appt of 12/03 due to personal reasons.  I rescheduled for yesterday 12/06/2010 @ 2:15pm.  made it to my appt super early because I was sooo excited.  i was a little leery about my weight because my sister's home scale proved to be inaccurate.  When I got on the scale before I left for the appt her scale said I was at 380lbs!  Not good....I went to the appt because I had a great feeling anyways!!  Well finally got in to see the Dr.  Stepped on the scale and....drum roll please!.....371lbs!!!  I was so happy and relieved to see that number!!  And not to mention darn too-tin' proud of myself!!!  Had my talk with the doc and I am now rescheduled for 12/27/2010!!!  I was elated to hear that!!  Now the ugly stuff..... I have to have an EGD because it wasn't done prior to approval from insurance.  So the doc wants to have it done.  I have to pay on my deductible $868.00 before the insurance will even look at a claim for it.  I was scheduled for tomorrow to have it done but they brought up how much it would cost me out of pocket and I had to reschedule.  I am scheduled to have the EGD now on 12/22/2010 and then have to weigh in at the doc office again on 12/23/2010.  He has put me on a strict hardcore liquid diet cold turkey!!  He wants me to have lost another 15 to 20lbs by the 23rd.  There are a few hurdles ahead of me before I actually have the surgery, definitely discouraging!  I am trying to remain as positive as possible about them!  Continue praying OH fam....someone has been listening!!  Thank you all for your comments and kind words!  I really do appreciate them.  I will keep you guys updated.  Until next time......
