My dream is about to come true



Recommended Posts

Hi online buddies,

9 days from today, I am about to have my dream come true. Last year, my sis did it and I told myself that I would never ever do it... One day on October I wanted to wear my favorite pants to work and they didn't fit. I was soooo upset and mad at myself... I said eff this I need to get this surgery. This was the beginning of October. I went through so much just to find an insurance that will cover it. Finally my dads insurance worked. Then the process was just hectic and took a lot of time. Working full time and being a full time student it ain't easy. Then the second obstacle was my cardiologist did not want to approve me until I do thousands of exams since I had heart surgery... She finally cleared me lol... Then my BMI was a 37 and the only thing that I had is high blood pressure but don't take medications for it...the surgeon told me that I might to get approved bc of this... Heart broken.....well, my docs were submitted on the 10th of October and I was approved on the 18th.., I have BCBS of nj btw. Then I read here how people kept saying how much money they had to pay out of pocket which scared me... I called the hospital admission and she said I have to pay 2800$ for the whole thing... Omg I was shocked of how cheap it was ????..... I had to pay 1000$ deductible right away and the rest are 12 month payment free interest..... Omg omg omg I still can't believe it... I am being excited and not nervous at all.... Even though I don't have to do a liquid diet before the surgery, I am going to start next week :)
