My surgeon's office mailed my letter of appeal last week and I received a letter in the mail Friday stating my denial was reversed and I am now able to proceed with the Lap Band procedure.......YEAH!!!!!  I now have a new date......September 23.  I know it's a long time from now but I have definately learned patience through this whole process.  I am soooo excited!!!  So the countdown begins again.......until next post.......SMOOCHES!!!!

Okay, so I've done my 3 months medically  supervised weightloss  program.  How frustrating!!!  I sometimes wonder why these insurance companies have you jump through so many hoops.  Well I really tried to take off some pounds.  I lost and gained the same 10 pounds over the last 3 months.  I am just really tired and really pray that this surgery will give me the help I need.  I am really tired of being fat.  All of my paperwork is being submitted to my new insurance company this week, so hopefully I will know of the status before the end of this week.......until then.......Smootches!!!

So today I saw the Cardiologist and he ran more test and cleared me for surgery.  The doctor who performed my sleep study called me to let me know that my CPAP machine was ordered and I should have that shortly.  So far everything was going well until I received the bomb............my job changed insurance networks without any advance notice.  So now what do I do.  I tried to stay as calm as possible and began to make phone calls.  I found out that our new insurance carrier covers the procedure and has the same requirements as the old carrier.  I had the surgeon's office fax all of my paperwork to the new carrier.  So now I have to wait for another approval, but the nurse was very assuring letting me know that I shouldn't cancel my surgery because I should have an approval within 3 days.  Whew...........so now again I wait.  Today was very trying, but I trust that if this surgery is meant to happen it will happen.  Until next post........................SMOOCHES!!!!!

 I was diagnosed with sleep apnea, and also found out that the doctor wasn't happy with my EKG results so I have to see a Cardiologist for clearance for the surgery.  I thank God that I decided to have this surgery, because I would have never known any of this.  I was never one to go to the doctor for a physical regularly.  Although I'm a heavy woman, I have been a healthy heavy woman.  All of this is a shock to me and doesn't put me in the best of moods.  So, now I'm waiting for the Doctor to prescribe me a CPAP machine and I go to the Cardiologist for clearance on Thursday.  I pray all goes well.  Until next post............PEACE AND HAIR GREASE Y'ALL!!!!!!!
