I'm APPROVED!!!!

Finally, both the insurance company and Dr office called me today!!! It really only took the insurance company a few weeks total and during that time they got a few additional things, from Dr office whom replied quickly to them!!! Mary will call me tomorrow with my pre-op testing appointments and I am on my WAY!!!! now I am getting nervous about the pre-diet.  I have never been on a liquid diet before, but if I go into prepared I know I will survive..
Thanks for listening!!

Cheryl that is AWESOME news!!!!  Im doing the happy dance for you right now!! So do you have a date yet for surgery?? Please let us know as soon as you know! :)  Dont be nervous about the liquid diet, I had never done one before either, but its not as hard as you think.  Just think about the big picture!! You will do great and before you know it you will be post-op and eating normal food...just much less of it!! :)  Keep us informed!

Yeah Cheryl!!!!  I will have your spot on the "loser's bench" ready for you when you get out of the operating room.  :-)

Like Jenn said, don't worry about the liquid diet..............keep the end goal in mind.  You can do this and I believe you will do this.  Keep posting update so we know what's happening with you.

Congratulations Cheryl.  Dr. Matt is awesome, you are in great hands.. lots of jello will help u and SF popsickles!

Thanks everyone.  My next appt is May 5 to finish up with my pre-op testing.  As soon as I get those results in they will give me a date.  I don't forsee any issues, so I am still hoping to have it in May so I will be ready to go to Chicago in June!!!! 
Melissa I read your blog and you have done great, and best of luck to you in your lbl surgery next week!!!!

Thanks Cheryl,

My LBL surgery went without a hitch.  I will add you as a friend if you want to see my preop and postop skin pics... be warned they are graphic.  But to me its best to learn to see it in its full glory. Thanks for the compliments.  Tell Dr G I said hello!!!
