Best Phone Call Of My Life Today



Recommended Posts

So I got the best phone call of my life today.

After applying to ADP(a payroll company in bothell that I know for sure has UHC and covers the band, my mom use to wokr there) several times for months it seems they have finally called me. They did a phone interview and will be calling me back in two days to scheduel an actual interview...with ADP they have a recruiter from a different state call you then the center gets notified that they need to interview you.

After telling my best friend she was like "Gosh the hours and the pays sucks"

And all I could think was who the F cares when insurance covers my $17,000 surgery!!!

Wish me luck!

I pray that they will hire me I would give my right arm for this....probably the left one too!!!

Audrey - I'm so happy for you! See, your time has come!

Hang in there! Also, when you sign up for insurance, see if they offer the payflex spending account. This is a medical spending account you can pay your out of pocket expenses with. It is pre-tax and saves you money. I took out $4,000 on mine and it only lowered my check about $50.

Keep us posted on your progress!

That is great news Audrey!!!! Make sure to check and see if there are any criteria you need to meet before surgery (medically supervised diet, nutritionist, etc) so you can get the ball really rolling.

Luckily since my mom use to work at ADP she knows the person interviewing me so I have an idea of how I need to act which is a plus.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
