Set backs... sorry, kinda long
I haven't been posting lately, so I thought I would enlighten ya'll as to whats been going on with Michelle lately...
Absolutely NOTHING!
I have sent in my appeal letter, and got another refusal. I knew that was coming, but hey, what did it hurt?
Rick and I were looking into buying a house, even had the homeowners willing to return $20,000 to us after the closing costs (we were applying for a $90,000 loan for a house that only costs $70,000 so that we could have the money to pay for the RNY surgery). My friend's parents own the house and they are 100% supportive of me having the surgery. They were more than willing to help. then we got a call from the mortgage company saying that our credit score was too low for the loan. So we are going t be working on our credit for the next year, and hopefully, we canget our score up high enough to just apply for a medical loan.
I found a doctor in Chattanooga that was willing to take $3000 off of his usual surgey cost of $5000 so that it would be a little easier on the wallet. With the surgery plus all of the hospital costs, it would have ran me $18,245. Not too bad, if I could just figure out how to get a loan.
Yeah, I know...
Why don't I just wait the year til we can get our credit up a little, but it's killing me to be patient. I have already been waiting 2 years!
My knees are starting to give out on me now. I can't even stand to sit here long enough to check my e-mail because my ankles start to swell and hurt. My husband and I have decided to start yet ANOTHER diet. I am down to 1200 calories a day and we are supposed to be walking every evening. That too is becoming a fight. I am ok going downhill, as are a lot of people, but then I have to go back up the hill to get home, that's whe the knees start hurting. Iam afraid to pu**** too much, I don't want to end up needing knee surgery too, lol!
The kids start back to school on the 7th, and I am right back to feeling like I did last year. I should be ready for them to go back, but I know that when they do go back, that they will start being picked on again for my size. They tell me that they just ignore the other kids, but I know that it bothers them. I can't believe that I let myself get this size!
I know, I am being a big ray of sunshine... but it's hard to be optimistic when your "fat" pants are getting tight!
Ok, ok... I'm sorry. I didn't mean to vent to ya'll. I know that some of you are in the same boat that I am in. Damn insurance companies! Cosmetic surgery my arse!
I am going to go to bed now... it's 3:30 in the morning. Yeah, that's the fun I am having now too. Insomnia. I don't like taking pills, but I may have to just to get a good night's sleep. Sometimes I just wish that people had a "kill switch" in their brain that would let them go to sleep without worrying about every little thing that comes along!
Good night my friends, I hope that this message finds you all doing well!
Michelle
Thank you Tyhronda!
My chin is held a little higher today. The other day when I posted, I was just so frustrated with all that has been going on with the surgery and in my personal life. I don't mean to vent, but I know that there are people here that are going through the exact same things I am right now, and it REALLY helps to know that I am not alone! If I didn't have people that I could turn to here, I probably would have given up a loooong time ago. You guys keep me going, and I am so thankful for each and every one of you!
I love ya'll!
Michelle

Yeah Tammie, I know what it is... I am working on finding a getaway driver though. Ryan still can't reach the gas pedal.

Thank you everyone for your help. I know that we all go through this at least once on our journey. I am not giving up though. I will be going this week to see if I can get on Medicaid. I want to say that it is my last option, but I know it isn't. I'm going to keep fighting!
Loves to all,
Chelle
