Getting Closer
Sep 05, 2011
Good Morning Oh'ers,I just wanted to post a quick blog to check in.This week i have the last of my two appointments and the i have to get my letter from my PCP and then it's just the waiting game.My upper GI is on Friday and my psychology evaluation is on Thursday and then on Wednesday I'm going to stop by my pcp's office to get my letter and i will be done with the paper work.I'm getting very anxious about this whole process,I'm totally happy that I'm allowing myself to go all the way this time.When i went to my nutritionist appointment last week i had a opportunity to speak with the INS specialist(CARLTON) while i was there and there told me that it does not take long for my INS company to approve me that i should have an answer within the week.The only issues is my surgeon is out of network and whatever they don't cover i will have to pay for it.So while i was talking to Carlton he told me that Dr herron(surgeon) works with is patient on a case to case bases and being that I'm part time and i work at the hospital where I'm having surgery he will put all that into account and he will mostly likely write some of the balance off and then whatever is left is what i will have to pay but they will put me on a payment which i can work with.However at this point nothing right now is set in stone,Although Carlton told me that Dr Herron does this all the time i have to wait until i get to that bridge before i get my hopes up about the financial aspect of everything.Last week i was very stress about the whole process but i know that i have to truly do this for myself.Don't get me wrong I'm still stressing about it but my level have come down from a 20 to a 8,Overall I've put everything in God's hand and i know that he will pull me through this.
I know that everything will be ok because i had a dream about having my surgery,I hope that i don't sound crazy,let me explain.I guess because being that i was thinking about it so much,I had a dream last week that i had surgery and i felt myself walking and i was talking to my surgeon and he told me that everything went well and that i had a textbook surgery.My pain my at a bare minimum,Over i know that I'm doing the right thing for me.I've been lucky in the fact that the only co-morbidity that i have is hypertension but i know that if i continue at this weight(472) it wont be long before other health issues arise.I knock on wood every day because i know that i could have a lot more health issues then i do.I've read on oh about people in my weight range who have a list of issues and i know that i can be in that same boat and i thank god everyday.Until next time everyone enjoy your day and HAPPY LABOR day...Summer is officially over.
