As you know..I'm waiting for my approval. Today is the 7th business day. I was told within 10 business days I would know something. I can't sleep, I can't focus at work, and I feel like pulling my hair out. I carry my cell phone with me everywhere I go..just in case it rings. And, I'm stress eating....  I really didn't think it would be this hard to wait... I'm trying not to complain, but I'm a wreck. Sorry if I sound like I'm complaining....I'll shut up now!

Hi Lisa!!!

There's no commandment that says, "Thou shalt not call to check on the progress of thine approval!"  If it would make you feel any better, by all means, call them. 

Hang in there!  Hopefully, this will all soon be a distant memory!

Hugs,

Oh, Lisa thank you for the comment on my pic... too sweet.

And I know this is making you crazy. Wish there was something I could do to distract you... make you think of something else but I know this is HUGE... I remember waiting and wanting to eat everything in sight. If it helps, think of it as a good test for the future because life will throw other stresses at you, bigger than this (because life is just that way doncha know)... and if you can practice perserverence and healthy behavior through this, then you just get stronger.

But either way you are welcome to complain all you want cuz this is the place you can do it among loving arms... here to listen!

Oh honey it was the longest 2 weeks of my freakin life....

Don't worry... please do yourself a favor and enjoy the time...  I got my approval on Monday and it's like time is FLYING by way to fast....  I already had my pre op testing and I'm less than 2 weeks away from surgery.

hang in there

Thank you everyone.. You are all the best. I'm trying to keep busy. In fact, my house has never been cleaner..lol   I'm hoping to hear something today, cause the weekend will go on forever if I don't. 

I'm so glad to have you all here by my side. It helps to know that you all understand how I'm feeling. Thanks again...
