So i have been going through this process for a little over six months. I am ready for surgery already! I find myself daydreaming about what life will be like in an "average" body. I can take the plug out of the bathtub, bend over to tie my shoes, wear high-heels, and ssoooo much more. I am so excited, I should have an answer from my insurance company this coming week (thats what they said) and I hope its a YES! It just seems like the process has been so long, the doctors office that i am going to (Dr. Ali, Fountain Valley, CA) has lagged on all my paperwork, I mean weeks. I know once its all done and over weith I will be happy but the waiting is horrible. I am trying my best to keep my mind off of it, doing other things. I just want to be out of surgery on my way to a new life already!
