I'm anxious and nervous!

I'm so anxious for this surgery! I want to be able to play with my daughter without feeling like I'm going to die! I'm also very nervous! I'm so scared of getting denied! That's my biggest fear! I have UHC PPO. My BMI is like 43. I have PCOS, Insulin Resistant, and who knows what more. I have many many family members with diabetes, heart problems, cancer, stroke, etc. And many of them are obese. I'm so scared of getting these things. I want to be healthy! I've tried diet after diet! I always say "oh I'll just splurge today and start again tomorrow!" Well that tomorrow turns into tomorrow and you see where I'm going. I don't really have a question here. I'm just babbling, sorry! I just keep reading about UHC patients getting denied. That scares me! I need this bad! Thanks for listening to me vent! ~Jess~

Hi again, Jess! You know, here in North Platte, there are many, many people that have UHC for insurance carriers, and there are several in our local support group that have had WLS. Your BMI is in the right range, and it sounds like you have some comorbities. Seems to me like you have a really good chance for approval. I know it's hard, but try to relax and not let it get to you too much. It will all fall into place for you the way it's meant to. I know all to well how you feel with the health concerns, and the family history.....I have a lot of the same issues. And as far as the dieting....I think we've all been there! Just hang in there, girl! It'll all be okay! Your day will come! Tammie

Thank you so much!! I will try and relax! I have things planned to try and keep my mind off of it. But as soon as I sit on the floor to play with Mia it all pops in my head. I hope you're right that I've got things that should help with approval! So far UHC has been great! They covered my pregnancy when I was 7 months along. We weren't expecting that to happen! Thanks~Jess~
