I am dizzy. Not physically, but mentally. First, we were worried about being able to get sleeved before January 1st.

Then, my insurance dropped me... long story short? I'll get back on my insurance, and this has become a non-issue. It lasted just long enough to put me in a tail spin and REALLY upset me.

After that was all settled and my insurance was reinstated, the case management person at my surgeon's office called me to express concern that I still may not make it by the end of the year. She suggested that I call my primary care physician to see if I have any notes from a visit in May. My insurance requires a 6 month supervised diet. They don't really care if it's with a dietician or a physician, as long as they're consecutive months.

I have April, June, July, August, and September. There is a giant gaping hole where MAY should be. I called my PCP today and they said there's record of 6 phone calls, and some lab work. I did not, however, have an office call. It's complicated, but the insurance requirements don't specify an office call. Only documented communication.

Fingers crossed, people. If by some miracle those phone call notes and my lab work can suffice as my 'monitored attempt at weight loss' I could be looking at surgery MUCH sooner than we thought.

Granted, I'm trying not to get my hopes up. I'm just tired of being anxious about the end of the year. Finals, surgery, holidays, it would be a lot to handle. Worth it, but crazy.
