Default The waiting Game......

The psych eval was a breeze. The psych was very, very nice. We basically just sat and talked about the surgery. She wanted to know what I thought I would be getting out of the surgery as far as results. Then we talked about how I would have to eat after the surgery and my at home support system. It went alot smoother then I thought it would.

I went for my last weigh-in. I gained 3# but I don't think I REALLY gained anything. I have been very, very bad about taking my "water pills" and also the meds that I have to take to make my TOM come. So I am sure that has something to do with the 3#. If I would not have gained the three pounds then I would have maintained my weight for the last six months....I was a tad disappointed by that BUT....I know if I was not watching what I was eating I would have gained more...alot more

So all of the paperwork has been mailed off to the insurance co. I am anxious to see what they say. I am worried that they will say no but I am prayying, and praying that whatever the answer I will be able to accept it.

I will come back and let everyone know what the insurace companies decision is as soon as I get it. I feel butterflies in my tumy!!!!


Blessings to all,

Chrissy

The phone rang this morning and I looked at the caller ID...my heart was in my throat. It was the Dr. He was just calling me to let me know that they mailed off all of the paperwork to my insurance company. I have butterflies !! Please continue to pray for me as I go through this...it's alot more of an emotional rollercoaster then I expected!!!! HERE WE GO!!!!!!!

I will come here and let all of you know exactly what and when I find out!!!! The Dr. said it usually takes 3 weeks for an approval so I figure towards the middle of January......Maybe I'll be having my Surgery in February???? Just in time for the nice weather to come and to be able to walk outside!! We will see....

Blessings to all,

Chrissy

Hi, Crissy - good luck! Know the next couple of weeks will be VERY long for you, but I have no doubt everything will be fine. Just tell those butterflies to chill out and you'll have good news in no time! Sounds like all your i's are dotted and t's are crossed so you don't have anything to worry about. Let us know as soon as you find out!! and, Happy New Year!
