Officially APPROVED!!!

Dec 12, 2011

I called today to check on the status of my preauth from both of my insurances. i knew one was denied because it is a non covered service and to my surprise the insurance that i was hoping would approve the surgery DID!!! They apparently approved it on 12/8/11. Boy am i glad i called to check on the status and was annoying because the letter didnt make it to my insurance coordinator. or the insurance company forgot to fax it or mailed it instead. Either way, I am approved to have the LapSleeve as my Surgeon calls it and to have a hiatel hernia repair. I am waiting to hear back from the surgery scheduler with my preop appt date and lab work instructions. as you can tell from previous posts i have started my diet and have even more resolve to be the best :) no more worry! now i just need to focus on getting everything ready :)

SOOOOOOOO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!

Just spoke with the surgery scheduler who confirmed the surgery date of 12/28/11. My preop appt is 12/15 at 145pm. I have a good friend/old boyfriend coming to be my support person (they suggested i have one come). so signing all the consents, lab work and ekg. they said plan on 2 hours or so. Did i mention i am SOOOOOO EXCITED!!!! lol I can hardly focus at work today.

It is weird. before when i was a free fat person i ate to celebrate. i would be chowing down on a twix and some doritos with a barqs rootbeer and planning the rest of my evening. maybe olive garden or dominos. but now i am not thinking of what i am going to have. i am excited of course but its hindered a little bit because now i am thinking of what i cant have and need to try and find something else to do to celebrate. maybe ill go get a movie or new book or my eyebrows waxed! i need that desperately. thats what ill do to celebrate! :) no more food celebration!! :) im ok with that
