Ok... So I should probably explain the title....

For those of you who have never met me... I was going to go through this last year with my Mom (The Great Sterlingfyre) but due to insurance changes I couldn't do it then.  But I had failed my Psych eval at that point and was a bit discouraged (since I really dont believe in psychologists that much and didn't really want to have to go see one every week to be able to get approval).  But now due to another insurance change happening on January 1st I will be able to submit for approval for my surgery.

When I found this information out, I got in contact with the clinic again and started the process all over.  Figured i wanted to do whatever i needed to do (yes, even see that psychologist every week if need be) to be able to have surgery.  Well when I called the psychologist to find out what i needed to do he tole me we would redo the psych eval test.  So I went in and took that test, had my appt with the Nutritionist and left with an appointment for 3 weeks away.  During that time I had to journal my food, practice dry meals, do presurgery nutrition labs and worry about what the test would tell me.

I had my follow up appointment with the psychologist and he told me I am NORMAL!!!!  Can you believe it??? Let me tell you.... I CANT!!!!!

 I left his office pretty happy to head to the nutritionist appt.  I then found out there that I am very deficient in vit D and VERY low on the scale of normal for iron..... got a prescription for VIT D suplements and told to take vit's with Iron in them... but we are a GO for submitting to insurance on the first of the year!!!!!!

I have an appointment on Christmas Eve with my surgeon for my presurgical visit and they will then submit when my new insurance takes effect on January 1st!!!!  So they think we would be looking at a early to middle Feburary surgery!!!!!  I am so excited I just cant stand it!!!!!

So watch out everyone!  I will be joining you all on the losers bench sometime in early 2010!!!!

(note-  I am not even saying that it wont go through insurance or be questioned....)

I refuse to give up on this and making myself healthy.... even though some people around me dont understand why I feel that this is the only way it is really going to happen for me.... I KNOW this is what I need!!!  And of course... I have the great support of my mother.... so that is all that matters!

Thank you to anyone still reading this.... I am just so excited and feel like I need to share with people who understand the feeling!!!!
