Im Approved!!!
Greetings to my Borthers and Sisters in Christ,
I am happy to report that I have approval from my insurance company for Open RNY. I also had a consultation with my surgeon on today and before I get a date I must be seen by a cardiologist for test. Reason being ... in 1999 I had very high blood pressure which caused the left side of my heart to enlarge and he want to see if the condition has changed. The cardiologist must clear me before I get a date. The appt. is scheduled for Nov 2, and I will see my surgeon again on Nov. 17 for the final determination. I have also lost three more pounds making my total pre op weight loss 62lbs... which is 29lbs from my short term goal.
I'm not down not receiving a date but happy about his decision to investigate and I am trusting God that everything will turn out alright for me to have surgery. He did explain that because of my size that he would not be able to treat me like his other patients. I would have to be addmitted a day or two prior to surgery, would be on a ventilator, and some other precautionary measures will have to be taken.
I felt like at this time of my journey I want an angel and I have ask Tammara Faye to be my angel and she accepted. Praise God! Tam is the person that invited me to the BAF. She is young woman of GOD. She has encouraged me, inspired me, and impressed me with all that GOD has blessed her to accomplish. Tam has a very sweet spirit and is absolutly beautiful inside and out. I am truly blessed to have her as my angel. Love you Tam!
Well, I love you guys and I really appreciate all of your love, prayers and support. Thank you JESUS!
Love you much,
Georgeann
