Finally have a surgery date!

[Scylla 106]

After jumping through insurance hoops since late August, I finally got surgical approval yesterday! My surgery date will be April 23 and I will begin my liquid Protein and raw vegetables diet on 3/24.

Hooray for you!!! Just knowing serious help is on the way can do miracles. Wishing you great success! It looks like you have already been off to a great start! Keep up the hard work.

That's great! Congratulations, and good for you hanging in there with all of these interminable hoops we have to go through. YAY!

I"ve been approved since November but the backlogue at Group Health is so bad I'm not likely to get a surgery date until October. Groan. I"m fighting it though and trying to move things along as much as humanly possible. It give me good hope to hear you got a date now given how long you've been waiting.

I love your profile pic too Scylla. Nice -- or should I say, 'not nice' given the character?

A year backlog?! I take it you are not in the United States?

Thanks-- I loved "Little House" when I was a kid and thought this was a great pic of Nellie to use as a profile pic!

Oh I'm in the US - in Washington State Seattle area. They're just way overbooked, and they say it's getting worse. I suspect they just figure allowing this backlog to continue means people will drop out. I'm challenging it as much as customer service options allow, but there's no way around it so far.

Loved the Little House serries - both the show and the books, as did my kids and even husband!
