Wow, what a couple of days I have had! Yesterday I called the doctors office again to see what was going on and they told me the reason why they never called back was because I am a Tufts Insurance holder. I guess Tufts has now changed all there coverage terms this past week. The whole new deal is that if you are not accepted by the surgeon and met all the qualifications by the month of March you have to go through a 12 month monitored weight loss plan!!!! I was in shock for about 2 hours after the phone call. After I got myself together I called the insurance company and spoke to a woman named Emily and she said that unless I can get myself bumped up, I'm not going to be covered. Needless to say I cried all night. :think

This morning I woke up pissed. I was not happy with the news and decided I was going to give it my all to convince the doctors office to get me in. Well, the secratery there must feel bad for me because she said that she would talk to the nurse herself and call me back. While I was at the gym getting rid of all my pent up anger, she called me back with the news....she said that they had a cancellation for tomorrow and if I can make it....the apt. is mine! Then she gave me all these other apts for this week. I just kept on saying yes to whatever time or days she gave me without even knowing what I was going to do about the kids.

After tossing back and forth the idea in my head....I decided to let my mother in on the news. I was so afraid she was going to be discouraging but you know what?...she was awsome about it. That was a huge weight off my shoulders. All in all this was a pretty good day. I just wish I could get rid of all my other stress's.

OK...here is this weeks schedule:

tomorrow 1/24 I have a 3 hour apt she said it will take all day. I'll be there from 9am-1:00?

thursday 1/25 I have a 4:00 apt. then I'll go to my second seminar at 6:00 with my mom. (wish me luck)

Monday 1/29 I have a 12:00 apt. with the psychologist....yikes!
