Approved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, really. I've been on vacation and haven't picked up my mail yet, but Alice at Dr. S's office called this morning. Surgery is October 9th.
This is really exciting and a little miraculous. I didn't have a 6-month history, and Dr. S thought I'd have to fight it. But, I did some research on OH and found that some insurance companies do waive the 6-month requirement if you can otherwise document a long dieting history. We sent 5 years worth of PCP records and a 25-year diet history I'd cobbled up for Dr. S. My shrink sent a really great letter, too.
Yayyyyy God! I've prayed a lot about this, specifically for Him to show me if it's really for me.
Edie,
Congratulations on your approval and best wishes for an uneventful surgery and a very speedy recovery! You will be a loser before you know it.
Hugs, Mo
Comparison is the thief of joy!
If we spend our time comparing our life/weight loss/body to others, we totally miss what WE have accomplished. Keep in mind how far you have come and what you can do now that you couldn't do weeks/months/years ago. I hate the expression " It's all good", but in this case it fits! Wherever you are in your journey ... It's ALL good!!!
