Denied, Appealed, Approved, Sceduled, Happy.
June 2009- Insurance denied my request for lap band surgery and claimed i had not ful-filled all of the requirements, which we BMI over 40, Co-Morbidities, and participation in a 2-year medically tracked diet/weight loss program. All of which i did.
June 2009- Appeal letter sent and we wait
.........................................................................................................................................................................
July 13th- Approval letter for the surgery arrives and i nearly pass out with excitement and happiness.
July 14th- Surgery is scheduled for July 30th. along with a one week follow up apppointment with the surgeon for a band fill.
im so excited. 2 problem though.
1. i have only told 2 of my friends and of course family. but i have no idea if i should tell people or just not say anything and continue to lose weight while people talk about me. im nervous people will think im anorexic since i wont be able to eat much but an ounce for a while. i start school on august 26 or 28 and im pretty sure i will still be on liquids by that time... meehhh
2. i have been constantly talking about the food i have to eat before i have the surgery. its driving my mom, and me crazy. I'm talking about what restaurants, and meals i still "have" to have before i cant eat anymore... grrr
