I haven't been around lately because i'm right in the middle of a move. My fiance and I are moving into our first house and there is a lot to take care of. Anywhoo...the insurance miracle worker over at Barix called Wednesday to let me know that my insurance will cover my surgery if I am able to provide a 5 year weight history and a psych evaluation. I found a doctor that will do the psych eval (scheduled for 4/4). At first I was a little worried about the 5 year weight history because this is the first job that i've had where I have benefits. I took the view that unless I was bleeding out of the eyes I wasn't going to the doctor because I couldn't afford to pay for the visit out of pocket. The woman that I spoke with (I think that her name is Michelle) said that any kind of record of my weight would be acceptable and that's when I remember that all through college I went for my yearly faithfully because the exam and pills were free through a state program. I faxed over a release form for my medical records at school and as soon as I get those and complete my psych evaluation we can schedule my surgery! I'm sooooo relieved and happy that it's coming along this well. I quit smoking about 3 weeks ago and i'm doing well with that as well! I'm happy that something is finally going my way for once!:clap2:
