October 12, 2006---Well, I am much more calm now.  Many of my online friends have reassured me about what to expect at Centennial and I feel much better.  I don't know how to explain my feelings.  I have such strong desire to find out what I'll look like as a healthy person since I have never seen myself that way.  I have always been big, even as a baby...I was nine pounds at birth and never stopped gaining!  I wonder if I'll have dimples like my brothers and sisters did (when they were living, both my sisters drowned in a flood in 1969 three years before I was born so I never knew them).  I hope I am cute...you all know we have seen people who were cute big and dog ugly thin...what a cruel joke life can play.  But I'll still take it because I can't stand the looks you get as a large person.  People seem to think if you are large, then you are stupid and lazy.  I just sometimes want to scream..."I have more brains in my little finger than you have in your entire body...and I work harder than most skinny people I have known in my entire life!"  I'm sure many of you can relate!  Oh well, I'll stop my ranting for now and get back to my obsessing about the surgery.  Oh, I got my actual approval letter, in black and white, today!  My hubby wants to frame it as he calls it my new birth certificate.  He's right in a way, it does feel like I have been given a new lease on life...I have been reborn!  Watch out world, here I come...a smart, sassy, and hopefully cute member of the GRITS...girls raised in the south...LOL!

October 7, 2006---I am completely going insane.  Now that my worrying has shifted from "will I get approved" to "now what", I have been on the internet like hours upon hours a day.  My hubby is really getting concerned.  I just keep wondering what it's going to be like.  I keep reading others profiles and just marveling at how much weight they have lost.  It is also amazing at how many differences there are in surgeons, diets, etc.  I just wish I knew what to expect for my hospital.  Even the comments page about my hospital is radically varying in comments.  Also, the diets...one dr. says only one kind of protein, others say any kind, one says no potatoes, no bread, another says all things in moderation.  Also, I am wondering what kind of pre-op testing I will be facing and will I get it all done in time to have my surgery by the end of the year.  I have already met my out of pocket maximum for the year so if I can get the surgery done before the end of the year I will pay nothing out of pocket...wooo hoooo....so it makes a huge difference.  I really am wondering how I am going to keep from driving myself crazy before I even have the surgery consult...November 1st is the date I meet with him...maybe I will not go insane!

Huge Update! October 5, 2006-- I just got the call that after the first letter...the first day!!!!!  I am approved!!!!!!!!!  Everything was sent in late yesterday and I was approved by 9am this morning...unbelievable and don't even think that I didn't cry like a baby!  This is so awesome.  I was so scared to get my hopes too high and now it has happened.  I worked really hard to get all the information I could...I had every doctor treating me for anything write letters, I made copies of every diet I have tried, I gathered every single medical record from everywhere I have been for the past five years, I did everything my surgeon's office asked me to do and I did it as quickly as possible.  My psychological screening and nutritional analysis wasn't scheduled until today but I called and rescheduled for last Friday and what a difference that made!  Well, enough already I know...I'm just so happy!

Update:  October 4, 2006.  Well, my entire packet has been submitted and pending approval.  Please, please, all fellow Prayer Warriors out there pray for me.

Update:  September 25, 2006.  I am so excited.  My insurance has responded and unlike what I was expecting, a flat denial for the first try, they have told me to go ahead and have my psychological testing done asap as this is the last step for my approval!!!!  I am bouncing off the walls with excitement...I wish I could do everything tomorrow...heck, it doesn't hurt to try!

Hello, my name is Kimberly but my friends call me Kym.  My hobbies are lots of reading, writing short stories, watching scary movies and reading anything scary, going to haunted or otherwise scary places, playing with my daughter, husband, dog, and cat, in that order, and cruising the 'net.
I have finally begun the process of getting approved for wls after many years of researching and soul searching.  I have been told very positive things about my insurance approving someone such as myself, and since the first letter has just been sent I am very hopeful. 
I have a BMI of 47 and my PCP has written a seriously pro-surgery letter so I am keeping my fat little fingers crossed.
