I am so pissed!
I had called my nurse about 4x in the past 3 months asking him if there was anything I was missing from my files. I knew that my last appointment was June 2nd and was ready to be submitted for insurance...
He had told me nope, everything is in order and you're set to be submitted. So I call the insurance company to see if it was submitted and nope it wasnt. So I call Dave back only to find out that apparently I was recommended last August to return to a psychiatrist to check up on my impulse issues before surgery.
So instead of telling me the 4x I called that I should follow up on that, they tell me at the very last minute that I cant be submitted until I follow up with a psychiatrist...
and they are all booked until at least mid July! WONDERFUL!!!!!
So now instead of having surgery at the end of the month like I was supposed to, I will have to wait at least another 2 months.
I am very disappointed cause I was really looking forward to being in soon. This has been a long process and now its gotten longer :(

Well Id be lying if I said I wasnt...but here we go!
I am not much for this blogging stuff or posting my thoughts right in the open for all to see but now Ive realized im getting closer to a life changing event and I might wish I had some records of my feelings in pre op...
Life is good. I like me. I like myself. Ok I am lying again...LOL
I do like me, on the inside. I like who I am, I like myself...just not the outside. Ive tried to hide the fact that I dont care but now its all coming to the surface.
I know in my heart and soul I am doing this for myself, my heatlh and my future...but why am I making excuses to chicken out?
Some people tell me Ill lose friends...some people tell me I'll never be the same me...some people tell me that I'll realize that being apart of the fat world is much more rewarding than trying to fit in with the skinny girls.
Those things make me think. But I dont really care. Since day one that this was an option for me I've decided to do it whether or not anyone was on my side. Nobody has lived my life, in my memories and my hopes and dreams. Nobody can tell me what I should do unless they have walked in my shoes. And they havent...so from day one I've told them all
"I didnt ask for your opinion, so dont give it. Its my choice. STFU. Thanks :)"
And the people who decide to leave after my WLS, thats their problem. Not mine. Im doing this for me, not you. Take it or leave it. Im still Sherri...just probably one with some extra skin :P
