Insurance approval

I got my letter today.....I'm approved!!! I am excited....probably not jumping up and down only because I guess it is what I expected all along as I'm fortunate to have ins. that pays. I already have my surgery date which was only pending the approval so I guess it is official for Dec. 18! I am soooo busy between now and then that I hopefully won't have time to get too nervous....I think I've gotten through a lot of the "nerves" thing though probably still have more to deal with....hopefully not too bad. I KNOW I need this for my health....sometimes I momentarily wish there was a different way but I know there isn't...and at least there IS a way....for some illnesses, there is no known corrective procedure so I'm grateful for this one. I can barely dare to dream what it will be like to be relatively thin, healthier and more energetic.....to be able to ride amusement park rides with my kids and to not "hold back" in life in doing what I want to do. I haven't held back much professionally, but I have physically....I want to river raft! I can only imagine what life a year from now could be like! My thoughts and prayers are with those still waiting...hang in there! Love to you all.....Jenni
