Too good to be true?

Well, I went for my 1st consult visit with the surgeon today and everything went well. Thanks to my extensive LBT history, he ended up answering a few questions that he said he had never been asked before! :thumbup:

I showed up with an envelope full of history for the insurance coordinator... at least 5 years worth, a letter from my old PCP, a letter from my GYN, a letter from a plastic surgeon I had consulted in the past, and just about every test/visit I have had in my lifetime (that I could get my hands on) related to my weight.

You know what she said??? I think this will do it. :sad: What? I'm sorry, I didn't hear you correctly... could you repeat that? Yep, she said it: I THINK this will do it. :sad: :sad: :eek: WHEN, WHEN, WHEN THEN?? She said all I had to do was attend the nutrition class, the next one being Wednesday AND to start my preop diet that same day. Following the class, that afternoon, she would send it in to BCBS. So, she said I should know something, at the lastest, by FRIDAY!!

DH and I left the office in shock. He looks at me and says, "I thought this was supposed to be a lot harder than that?" I said, yeah, me too. So, even though, I know it's pretty obvious that I'm not doing a good job of trying not to get my hopes up, it's pretty hard to think that it's not and that I am on my way to being a MAY FLOWER!!! :frown::sad::sad::tongue_smilie:

YAY ME!! :eek:

**NOTE** Turning off not getting my hopes up --

Thanks B.Bee!! I'm beside myself especially since I haven't told anyone but my LBT family! I didn't want to tell the ones in my life who know and then have to go back and untell..

Thank you for sharing in my UTTER EXCITEMENT!! (Be there to catch me on Friday if it falls through, too!) :thumbup:

**Okay, turning it back on and going back to not getting my hopes up... (teehee)
