I have been waiting for this day. Approval from my insurance company. When I picked up the phone and it was Dr. Srikanth's patient coordinator on the other end, I suddenly got nervous. She said 3 words You are approved. I jumped up and down like I won the lottery. I couldn't stop smiling. I called a few friends and shared the fantastic news. I am doing this for me and doing this so I can live a long and productive life. I want to do athletic things with my children and not let my genetic make-up and food continue to rule my life. I've been going through all the steps necessary to get my insurance to pay for the lapband procedure. I had to do 3 month supervised diet with a doctor and a nutritionist. I have learned a lot from the nutritionist and plan to use her as a resource the rest of my life. I've done all my labs and testing. Somehow I was so scared that I would not get approved. Now that I am, it's exciting but scary at the same time. I am going to change everything about my lifestyle. I have to. It's the only way to be successful. Failure is not an option for me...and that is what I am most scared of. I am not going this far to fail. I have to many hopes and dreams. All of them which require the body and health to do it. This is the first day of the rest of my life. :)
