Tests and Thanksgiving
Nov 26, 2009
Okay so I had my psych evaluation on 11-19-09 (what a trip!) and also had my second appointment with the dietician the same day. I've lost 7.5 pounds and hopefully that stands true after eating SO much Thanksgiving food!! It's going to be the last time I can do that so I figured I had better enjoy myself lol! I also had to have a polysomnograph done (sleep study) and I did that Tuesday 11-24-09. That was definitely an interesting experience. The tech said I did have some apneas, joy! I pretty much already knew they would say that, but hopefully in a few months that won't be a problem at all!I have my third and final dietician's appointment on 12-15-2009 and that is when they will submit all of my papers to Aetna! Hopefully they'll approve me quickly and I'll get a surgery date SOON!!! I'm a little nervous because the case worker with Aetna says they are usually very strict about the 90 days thing (my 90 days isn't until 01-11-10) and you aren't supposed to submit the paperwork until THAT day! But I really want to have it done before then so that I'll be back on my feet before classes start next semester! Although, the nurse and dietician have both told me that as long as they see that you've done everything just right (dr appts, lost some weight, food/exercise journals, etc) then they really don't care about the exact number of days. I hope they are right. I'd hate to have to appeal, but the nurse also said that's not really an involved process. If I can't get a surgery date before next semester starts, I'll have to wait until the summer and I am SO ready for it to happen NOW! Especially since my birthday is late July and to have lost between 75 and 100 pounds by my birthday would be AMAZING!!!! So, we'll see.... I had started walking but I'm definitely going to have to amp that up after what I've eaten the past two days!!! I'm hoping to lose about 15 more pounds before surgery! I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!!!
