I'm so excited...... well like i said last week on Thursday 9/22 my Dr office submitted my paperwork to my insurance. I tell you what that was a LONG weekend lol. Well Monday me being the impatient one I am called the insurance to find out the status and was told the nurse person had all my paperwork and was reviewing and she would have a approval or denial in 24-48...... LORD have mercy all I did was pray and pray and pray. You know that feeling like I’ve got this I’ll be approved but there is a small part of you that is like omg what if I am denied then what I can’t be denied…… well those thoughts were racing through my mind. Well today seeing as it had been 48 hours I called my insurance and sure enough learned that I was approved. I was super excited I hadn’t started my shift at work yet and already could not concentrate lol. Well I was able to get off from work a little early and about 45 minutes ago I get a call from the Doctor office and I have now been scheduled for 10/27/2011 and starting my pre op diet on 10/13 which I am actually not worried about. I also got a text from my twin sis Tanya and she too got a call from the dr office and she was going to be scheduling her banding for around 11/10. We are both ready for a change in our lives and honestly ready to start a new life. I pray for those that are still waiting on approval or surgery dates and those just starting out. Don’t give up on what you want sometimes it is not in God’s plan to do something when WE want it sometimes we just have to be still and wait on him…….
