Still in the game
May 27, 2009
Still in the waiting game. I had to fax my insurance a copy of my signature showing that it was OK for Dr Soriano to proceed with my request to over turn my denial. Got it all done and faxed in. Over the weekend we went to a cook out and I got to see a friend that had RNY. She looked great! She originally wanted the sleeve but her insurance would not approve it. (Imagine that??) So she decided to have the gastric bypass and she is doing great. She had it done last August and she took my number and wants to really be there for me as I go thru my transition. I really do want the sleeve but honestly at this point if my Doctor can't get it approved then I'm really thinking RNY and the more information I have on it the less scared I am of the procedure itself.
My fibromyalgia is doing its thing. I started taking 300 mgs 2X's a day of Lyrica, although, I feel better, my legs swell up and I really don't like that. So my doctor called in a prescription of 225 mgs, yeah well it doesn't do the same for me as far as pain. My knees are really bothering me too. My hubby is so good to me, he picks up the slack big time. When I looked at that recent picture of myself, I wonder how he stays with me cause I'm so big compared to where I use to be. But I know that he loves me for me....
