Doing something for ME : )

Feb 13th Surgical Appointment

I have previously completed the seminars and workshops ....Today I met with the Surgeon @ Cleveland Clinic. I just barely make the BMI requirement of 35...but hopefully with my strong apnea, I will get insurance approval. Now I need to go down the list of all the other checkups and bloodwork that is needed to be cleared for the next step.

Insurance approved...surgery scheduled

May 17th.....Cleveland Clinic told me that my Insurance has been approved!!!!! Can you believe it! Yipee.   With my low BMI I was expecting to be denied or in for a lot of appeals.....anyhow...they not only told me I was approved...but I can have my surgery done on Tuesday May 23....less than a week.   Next available would be in July......so looks like I am heading to surgery on the 23rd...before I get cold feet.   Husband is NON supportive....anti surgery.....wants me to sign a paper before the surgery that I am doing this against his wishes and he is not responsible in any way....AND that I accept all health problems or financial burdens that are associated with the surgery or might be future complications arising from having the surgery. Gimmee a break....23yrs and 5 kids....thanks a lot for your support and understanding.

May 26th

still a little under the weather...3 days post surgery....still uncomfortable getting up or down.   Overall, doing well. Made a strawberry shake for breakfast. skim milk, egg and a few frozen strawberries. Drank 1/2 cup. Appetite is still not up...that's a good thing. I hope it stays suppressed. Robin Alheit sent me a beautiful flower basket...just outstanding. We spoke on the phone and she is very encouraging. Hopefully, we can meet when I am up and about.   The diareah is not a pleasant side effect.....be sure to protect yourself with something as it usually gives no warning....yuck.   I suppose solids...will solve that issue LOL   smiles...diane
