AHHH! I'm so excited! I got the call today! Last Thursday I had called the insurance company (as mentioned before) and then Friday I called the surgeon's office. The coordinator told me she hadn't received anything yet, and even when she did she had to submit it again, for some reason. She told me that they technically had 6 weeks to approve/deny and then it took around a week for the second approval, so I was pretty bummed out - even though I knew the first approval should have been on the way to their office. I was feeling pretty crappy about it after that, and just kept reminding myself I needed to be patient. I was content, once again, thinking that my surgery could be 4-6 weeks away still.

BUT THEN! Today I was at the grocery store and got a call from the program coordinator! She said they got the first written approval and wanted to schedule the surgery. She said the second approval takes about a week, but since I have to do the liquid diet we could go ahead and schedule it for 2 weeks! Surgery will be on March 30th!!! I'M SO EXCITED! I have spring break from school all next week, so I was hoping to hear all of this last week and be banded next week, during vacation, but I'll just make my instructors aware of my need to be out for a couple days!

Ohhh, I'm just so relieved! And now I'm starting to get nervous! haha. I stocked up on sugar free jellos and puddings today, and I'm going to get my protein drinks out. I start the liquid diet on Wednesday! Heeeeerrre we gooooo!
