Exciting Week!!
Aug 14, 2009
On Monday 8/10 I had my consultation with Dr. Rawlins, my insurance requires that everything be done before consult so it was more of a yea or nay appt. He was as wonderful as everyone has told me he is, so laid back!
Long story short, he said I would be an excellent candidate, but that I had to be careful because his surgical staff might not like my size!!! (I'm a lightweight, BMI 40.7) He said that I'm dangerously close in size to many of them, we'll see how that goes, I can't wait!
My insurance was phenomenally fast at approving my consult so I hoped they would be the same way with approving the surgery. Needless to say they did not disappoint, I had my approval letter on Wed 8/12.......two freaking days!! I'm feeling a little bit better about my insurance premiums now. I'm approved, I'm approved!!!!!
Now I'm just waiting on a date!!!!!! Losers bench here I come.
