Hi my name is Hazel and my friend Debkay told me about you! I have been a fat chick for years that is what my friends and I have always called ourselves!! How cool that you all have a website!!!
Here is a little about me I am a stay at home mom to 4 wonderful sons, ages 15, 7, 2, & 1, and I have the BEST husband in the world!
I am having Lap RNY on the 5th of Feb!! And I am very excited! I have waited a long time for this date. I found out back in April that my insurance co would not cover WLS so I had to wait until Jan to change, and that was tough because the company that my husband works for made us choose in Nov and they will not have the explanation of benefits ready until March! So we had no idea if it would cover WLS!
My consult was on the 13th and my Dr.'s office faxed my stuff to my insurance Tues. night, I called Wed .morning and they had to get it off the fax machine, I asked the lady to please look over it and make sure that everything was there. She said she would and call me back (this was at 9:30 am). She called me back in a few min and said that she needed to know my waist size. Ok so I go running around the house to find a tape measure, I measure it, and she says call me back on Friday and I should have an answer. I was thinking WOW that would be great!
So that afternoon about 4:30 my phone rings and it is the same lady from my insurance co (Definity health). And she said I just wanted to call you to let you know that you have been approved for surgery and I am about to call your Dr.'s office. All I could do was cry and say thank you. She says go ahead and cry I love to make people happy! Total my approval took 7 hours!!!
I am still floating!! My Dr.s office had been so kind as to put me on the surgery schedule before I got approved so that when I did I would not have to wait any longer!
So I have 13 days to go! I can't even begin to tell you all how excited I am!!!
Hazel
