Approved! It's all for real now...
I have been hesitant to post too much since I found the OH site because I hadn't been fully approved for my RNY. I don't know why - I guess I just felt like I'd by jinxing myself. Silly, I know.
I previously had cancer and I just knew that even though I was qualified for the surgery, and my oncologist, PCP and surgeon all thought I was a good candidate, that the insurance company would tell me that they'd already spent enough on me and would not be allowing the surgery.
Luckily I was wrong. I found out today that my surgeon has received the approval letter and I am good to go on Sept. 10. Now the fact that I'm having surgery has become very real to me and is no longer an abstract concept. Wow - I thought I was nervous before!
I am so looking forward to becoming a major loser!
Thanks to all of you - even though you didn't know I was reading - I have learned so much from this site and from your shared experiences. I hope that I can contribute in some small way to make someone else's journey just a little easier, as you have made mine.
Ted
SO SEPTEMBER 10TH WILL BE YOUR BIRTHDAY....
I am so happy for you. I know what it feels like when you get the OK. It is such a great journey.... Sometimes I wish I could do it all over again....

Hi Ted,
Congratulations on your approval! You will be a major loser in NO time.
Never admit that you are a 'lurker' .. I'll be shining the light in your direction trying to coax you out onto the board!!! 
I hope you know I'm teasing, I too was a lurker for a long time and go through lurking spells even now at almost 3 1/2 years post op. OH is a wonderful resource for information and support.
Best wishes on your upcoming surgery!
Hugs, Mo

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!!!
Me and Ted are both on the same day, same doctor and same hospital. Ted is going before me and tells me that he will have Dr. Gandsas nice and warmed up for his second case and that is me. Now the race will be to see who is down the hallway first. Ted I will come and get you if you need me too. Best Wishes
Hugs Kristen
