discouraged
I haven't had the surgery yet, I am waiting for the insurance to approve. I guess waiting is taking a toll on my nerves because I just can't seem to want to do anything. I don't want to go anywhere because I feel so uncomforable in my cloths and I am so winded when trying to get ready that by the time it is time to go I am so tired. I just feel like this surgery is out of my reach. I have been to Dr. Hornbustle's seminar and was so excited about it and hopeful but as the days go on I am feeling less and less hopeful. If you are a christian please pray that I hear from someone soon. I want to start my life. Thanks, Penni
Penni,
I understand where you are in your journey. You finally make up your mind to get this done then you get to hurry up and wait. I remember being in tears because I was approved and was still waiting for phone calls from my surgeon's office. I only waited one day but it felt like years!
I also feel as you, now that I WANT to lose the weight and get healthy, I feel heavier and heavier. I just want to get this done and get on with my life.
So please, don't get discouraged. Hang in there and keep praying. And if at all possible, get your mind on other things. Don't dwell on whether or not you'll get an answer in today's mail. (Yeah right, I didn't even take my OWN advice on that one. 
) Anyway, I understand and I'm praying for you.
Blessings,
Peggy

Have you called your insurance to see if they cover the surgery..If you have and they do cover it I'm sure you will get it..I had to have a year of diet history with a Dr or WW or some thing like that.I remember being right where you are I would set around and cry because I didn't know if I had all my diet history..By the grace of God I did and I have now lost right at 80 lbs it took me right at 6 mo to get the surgery that was a long 6 mo..I'm sure you will be just fine best of luck to you..
thank you so much for your response Shelly, I really appreciate all of you. It helps to know that other people have or is going through the same things I am. I just wish someone would call or send me something. I can't imagine waiting 6 months for surgery when right now I feel like I can't do anything. My joints hurt and I went to get blood test done and my sed. rate is high. I have to get an MRI to see if I did something to my back. Never ends, on top of that I am bipolar and my meds are not helping like I would like them to. Just keep me in your prayers. Thanks, Penni
Hi Penni,
Everything you are going through is so normal. Everyone that answered you gave good advice. Read my profile, it explains the details of my experience. But everyone id different. That waiting sucks...only way to put it. But, I do think there are things we can do to make it easier. Make phone call (the right way of course). Find out who personally is dealing with your case. Develop a positive relationship with them. They can make things harder or easier. Get them on your side. If you haven't already figured it out....find out every damn detail they want...this is hoops...they put them up...you jump through...most people get denied first time around...don't let it freak you....just do what they want...talk to us....there are methods to get this surgery approved....and most of all.....DON'T GIVE UP.
Peace Out,
Eileen
Thank you so much for you support Eileen. I got my packet in the mail and I found out that my insurance has the benefit with no exclutions. I do have to do somethings for them to approve like show past weight loss attempts and letters and things. I just hope I'm unhealthy enough in their eyes to get the surgery. I won't give up, this is my only hope and with God's help, my family's support and all of you on my side I will make it. Thanks again, Penni
