APPROVED!!!!!

Yay!!! I finally got approved! After waiting for so long it just seems unreal now. I also received my date. It is Nov. 10! A little over a month away! Sorry for all of the exclamation marks, I am just so excited! I want to thank everyone one this board. Reading all of your posts have been informational and inspirational, and some post have made me laugh when I just wanted to cry and give up on getting this surgery done. It has been a long journey and I can wait to start my new life! Thank you & God bless all of you on this forum - Ashley

Congratulations on getting approved!  I wish you all the best, and hope that some time soon I can say the same thing

Congratulations on your approval.  I remember when I received mine.  I cried.  I was elated.  I was scared.  I was, oh gosh I had so much emotion!  But I knew that my new life was about to begin, and I started preparing for it...  putting some old things to rest and getting ready for the new changes.  Congrats, and please keep us posted on your journey. 

Ashley, Wonderful news, now enjoy the moment!! C'ya Bob

Melinda,
      Thanks for the congrats. I cried too! The doctor had called this past Friday while I wasn't home and they told my mom the good news, so when I got home she was like, " So your doctor called to confirm your appointment on Monday." I knew about it but I had forgotten. Then she got this really big smile on her face and said they told her that the insurance had approved the surgery. That's when the tears started rolling. I called like 4 or 5 people in a row just to tell them, tears still streaming. I guess since I had already gotten denied, that it wouldn't ever got approved. So when it did, I was shocked, happy, excited, and truthfully a little scared all at the same time. I really appreciate all of the support that I have gotten from you great people and I will most definitely keep y'all posted. - Ashley

Oh my gosh I know exactly what you mean!  I got denied also, and it really shows you just how much you want the surgery!  It puts a tenacity like a bulldog inside, "I WILL get this approved, and I WILL get this surgery!"  You are going to succeed because you had to fight for it.  I know you will do well.  You just keep hanging in there!
