So, I stopped blogging for a bit, bc I got frustrated with the wait...:smile: but now I'm back and over it...:thumbup: lol
I am now having surgery on Friday, yep, this Friday it's happening...finally after 2 reschedules (on behalf of surgeon, unforeseen family emergency) and now I'm getting nervous.
Upside, on this liquid only thing and down 17-20 lbs, been flux'ing 3 lbs at a time, weird, I know...that's partially why I'm doing this surgery.
I am in FW and having to drive 60+ miles for surgery...but you do what ya gotta do...right? Anyone else out there close to me, or date or whatever...
let's keep in touch and motivate one another together...
until next time...
drink water! :eek:
Why the freaking wait? I was told the hardest/longest part is the wait on insurance approval, and it hasn't been....it's been the wait for the dr. offc to call me and schedule an appointment to do preop diet...I don't want to call thier offc (again), so I'm trying to be a good patient...and wait. ugh...
On the flip side...I'm relieved from being approved, but nervous about what awaits me. I have all these (dumb) feelings in my head...what if it doesn't work for me? what if something goes wrong during procedure? what if my skin is ultra yucky after? what if? what if? what if?
My husband is wonderful and super supportive, but he's a little worried too...a couple of my neighbors are trying to talk me out of it...and the only supportive one is considering it herself. I'm ready for the new, old me...so why do I question it?
Yeah...I was ready to have this 2-4 week wait on approval from Tricare, and it's already done. I had read stories about Tricare being so ridiculous and it took less than 24 hours for approval. I had already done my pre-reqs so maybe that helped, not sure.
Will contact surgeon today to set appointment. I guess the liquid or 10day diet is next...
Feeling a little anxious...it's really happening...anyone else feel that way too?
So....this is my first time to blog, and it's about me being morbidly obese..not sure how I feel about that.
I am considering a lapband surgery and going thru the notions for insurance submission. I'm short and round and that's only cute on babies...ya know. I can't wait to have my life back...and be pain free...and able to be a normal size person-by that I mean well proportionate.
I'm nervous about insurance (tricare prime) approval, but need this surgery to happen. Does anyone know the process and was it this anxious for you....
Well, babies are wanting me...post again soon.
