THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT/DR. ADELEKE QUESTION
Dana, Tina R, Patty and anyone I might have missed,
THANK YOU so much for your suggestions and support. I spent 2 hours on the phone this morning with my insurance company BCBS PPO Personal Choice and they assured me I will not have a problem when I change coverage in August. YIPPEE!!!! I just have to make sure that all my medical clearances are in order and I purchase the policy that covers pre-existing conditions. I was confused (doesn't take much, ha-ha) because the insurance company had originally told me I would be eligible for a "student policy" which is minimal coverage (and I did not know that). Let's just say I am middle aged and will opt for the higher coverage.
AHHHHH! I can breathe again and stop crying. I guess this just goes to show how dedicated we become to have this surgery once our minds are made up to do it!
I was such a pain to all the staff at the surgeons office. Excessive emails, calls, etc. I could never apologize to them enough but I hope I have "redeemed" myself. I will keep my May 27 appt and move forward from there.
Thats great news Kitty!
You hit the nail on the head when you mentioned how dedicated people are about having the surgery when their mind is made up. I made my mind up back in December, and ever since my consultation with Dr. Wynn in January, I have not even had a second thought. My mind is definately made up!

You know, a great person from this message board told me once....when I was having a bad day and I felt like I was loosing support from my husband because he told me he didn't think my surgery was meant to be, because of the trouble I was having with the insurance company. so this great person said, that if it was not meant to be you would not have peace, you would be very uneasy and nervous about the thought of surgery, that it is the enemy that doesn't want you to have the healthy life, that is causing you trouble, and after I explained that to my husband he is 100 percent supportive. I think that when you have that peace, you are most definitly ready and nothing is going to stop your decision.
Take care (hugs) Dana
