HALLELUJAH!!!

I am finally approved for my surgery by my insurance.  I started this procedure 3 and 1/2 years ago.  I am not scheduled to have my surgery until Dec. 14th, but it is planned and approved.  Dr. Carl Lowe, in Charlotte, will be performing  the surgery. I am psyched. Eleanor

Eleanor, Congratulations. The long haul to approval is finally over! Linda

Congratulations Eleanor!  What a long time you've waited!  We'll get a seat ready on the Loser's Bench for you. Take care. Ellen

Congratulations! That is fabulous news. December will be here before you know it. I really didn't care how far out my date was, as long as I got approved and got a date.

I cannot imagine a 3 1/2 year wait. You must have the patience of a saint.

This may well be your best Christmas present ever!

Congratulations, Eleanor!!!  What tenacity you have!  I hope those of us who get or have been discouraged by the frustrating approval process will copy your post and read your blog so they can know that good things come to those who wait! All the best!

Congrats! You have a WONDERFUL doctor and will be well taken care of through your journey. May December hurry for you!

Congradulations!!!!! Jean

Congratulations Eleanor!  I can't imagine the patience it took to endure a 3 1/2 years wait.  Makes my wait seem like nothing.  December will be here before you know it!  What a great holiday present to yourself. Jaime

I am so happy for you. I hope the rest of your wait for surgery flies by. Best of luck. Beth

Super News! Congratulations!!!! BTW, are you having RNY, or Lap-Band?
