It's been sumbitted...... finally!!!!!!

I am on cloud nine. I had my psych eval done about 6 weeks ago, and have been waiting for Hurley to review my records for the diet documentation that my insurance requires. I called them today and they have been reviewed, everything is in order and they have sent it off to my primary insurance (which will deny it), then I can set a date. I meet all the requirements for my Medicare and Medicaid, so once they get the denial from my primary I will be good to go. At least that is the way it sounded when I talked to them today. I am sooooooo soooooo excited.... I tried to call my best friend and she wasn't home, then I tried my hubby at work, and he was on the road, so then I called my mom and told her. Now I am glad that I told her about the surgery a few weeks ago, so I had someone to share my excitment with. She was actually happy for me. And now I am here to tell all my new friends here. I know many of you know my excitement as you have been there. Now the wondering and worrying will start soon I am sure. I just can't wait until I get a date and can start my new life. Thanks for being here! Shawn McGeachy 295

Shawn, I'm so happy for you! It won't be long now....... Connie

Thanks Connie.... Oh and check your mail in a few.... I have a personal comment for you that I will be sending.... Shawn McGeachy

How cool is that? You'll be a loser in no time. Hugs Linda

Thanks Linda.... I can't wait... I have been so patient the past few months, I just want a date..... KWIM??? Shawn McGeachy

I know how excited you are, that is the way I felt after trying to have surgery for over a year! I started this process on Sept 1 2005, and now finally the wait is almost over, my date is Oct 25!!!!!!! Soon you will be typing your date too!! Ann

Thanks Ann! And Congrats to you on a date.... I feel kind of greedy since I just started thinking about this since this Spring and went to my first seminar in June. I know compared to many on here things are moving fast for me, but I am still impatient and want the surgery done yesterday. I know everyone knows what I mean. I do feel bad for those struggling to get approval or that have to jump through many hoops. I am glad however that things are moving along for me. I can't wait for the day that I can post my date. Thanks again Ann. Shawn McGeachy

way to go Shawn ! I am hoping to join you real soon Dawn

Thanks Dawn! I hope you get to where I am soon as well. I know how anxious you must be. Good Luck. Shawn McGeachy
