A New Development

May 23, 2009

Well, looks like my daughter will have to see her pediatrician 2 more times before Dr Munoz's office will submit for approval.  She had a two month lapse, March-April, when she changed her mind about the surgery and didn't go see the doctor.  So, now they want her to see him In June and early July before they try to get insurance approval.  Actually, this is fine since she has to go to summer school anyway for one month to make up a credit she needs to advance to the next grade. 

As far as me, it looks like mine is a go as soon as my PCP's office sends the doctor's notes.  She was supposed to send them on Friday but even though she promised she would, she never got around to it.  So, of course now it's the Memorial Day weekend and I won't be able to bug her til Tuesday, lol.  I expect if things go quickly with approval, I should be on the loser's bench in mid  to late June.  Yipee!!

My daughter and I had been planning on having surgery the same day and stay in the same hospital room, but after much thought, it's going to be better if I have mine done first.  That way I'll be pretty much healed and will be able to help her better when it's her turn.   I thought she'd be more upset when I told her the news, but she took it ok. 

My cousin is also having gastric bypass.  It's cool that all 3 of us will be doing this pretty much together.  We'll be able to help each other and share our victories and hopefully not too many struggles!
