GETTING FRUSTRATED!
Aug 18, 2010
So my test results havent come back back, OR the doctor hasnt faxed the test results yet, either way, I want an answer...I sound like a child but DAMN I need answers! I'm ready to know something! I will only have this insurance for so long and then I wont anymore so if I want this surgery covered then I need answers now!!! I'm totally venting but I'm really pissed! Was it like this for anyone else that had Paramount Advantage and went to Harbors for the psych eval???

So its Friday the 13th and nothing really bad has happened today, but I'm SUPER excited for my bariatric buddy Cathie, who will have WLS on Monday morning. Nervous for her and excited all the same, I know she's in good hands and that she's going to be just fine! 
HOPING that this coming Wednesday or Thursday, Kristie will call saying that I've been approved for surgery, that would TOTALLY make my day! Just waiting for the test to come back from being scored. I get nervous waiting for results, always SURE that something bad will happen but I've done everything I can do and its all up to Paramount now. 
It's going to be a busy weekend and I'm once again SO happy for Cathie and cant wait for her new chapter to begin, hopefully I wont be far behind her!

Then she will fax it over to Kristie and I will hopefully be approved by Paramount. I'm SOOO hoping it comes back by tomorrow then Kristie can let me know by the end of the week if I'm approved, praying HARD for that! I just want things to move along cuz September is filling up fast for me and I want to get it scheduled soon! Pray for me please!!!!!!

ANXIOUSLY awaiting my appointment on Tuesday to find out if the psych test went well and I passed. SOOOO NERVOUS! I hope its just my nerves and me letting my mind wonder because I am so nervous to fail and to have this process take longer then it already has.
My bariatric buddy Cathie is having surgery on August 16, so I'm SUPER happy for her! Looks like mine wont be happening til the first full week in September, if thing go as planned and Dr. White has openings that week. HOPE so because we'll be back from vacation by then and my twin first graders will be back to school.
Oh well, we shall see what happens!

After my appt, my daughter and I are going to meet my "bariatric buddy" Cathie for a quick bit to eat and chat! I'm so very excited to finally meet her since we've been communicating thru here and FB!
I'm some what nervous about my appt. tomorrow cuz I'm afraid I didnt do my journaling right, but I guess Shannon will let me know. I just dont want anything to delay this journey. I asked my husband lastnight if he plans to come with me for my consultation with Dr. White when that day comes, and he said, "I guess so." Nice, right? I was hoping for a of course or something to that affect. My g-ma said that she might be interested in coming along just so she can get all the answers to the questions she has. I've showed her the info on this surgery thus far, but I was her only grandchild for 16 years, so she worries about me ALOT! She's worried I wont be able to afford the protein supplements and whatever else. How do you reassure her of this?
Hoping that I can call Dr. Whites office and get an appointment ahead of time so that I can get in soon, and not have to wait forever. HOPING he will see me 10th, 12th or 13th. THEN I'm hoping we can schedule my surgery for Sept 8th, cuz the kids will be back in school, and that will be the week after our family canoe trip we take every year to Mohican...WE SO LOOK FORWARD TO THIS!
How long do ppl usually take to recover? I have to be somewhat normal in a week, due to the fact that I have 3 kids and my hubby only has maybe 3 personal days left, so I hope I heal fast! Well everyone have a wonderful Sunday and I'll be posting soon!!!!

The weekend was wonderful and Tuesday morning I go for my psych eval at Harbors in Toledo, OH. Hope I'm not nuts, lol, not really nervous about it, just curious about what they might ask.
So now, I'm doing my diet journal from the dietician, and doing the psych eval. Have to call Kristie at Dr. Whites office tomorrow to see if they got my 5 yr. weight history. Then after that its a waiting game. HOPING FOR A DATE SOON!!!!

Were getting ready for my lil girls 3rd birthday party on Sunday, so we were mowing the lawn and I thought I was going to DIE! I was doing the trimming with the push mower and I was sooooo out of breath! It was pathetic! I CANT WAIT for Surgery day to come!
Today was my dietician appt.

My sister on the other hand, is 100% behind me on this! She said that I have done my research and if this is what I believe is right then I should go for it! It was awesome to hear that! My husband still thinks its a bad idea and my mom is still skeptical about it. So we'll see...
Tomorrow is my first dietician appt. so I will be there at 9am and I'm so excited to get the ball rolling! I hope the time flies by!
