UPDATE / SCARED

First let me give you a update on my road block!! Today I was told my HMO will now be Molonia. I will not have caresource!!!  I am so happy with this. It was not a easy job, I had stupid people on the hotline driving me crazy! They were rude and had me in tears!!! I have been very presitent, I called and called and called. I know they were tired of dealing with me!! But I did not quit, I was told it could be done, if I followed the right steps!! I did and I won!!! So it was all worth it!! I am not a nagger, when someone tells me they will do something, I wait for them to do it. So this was hard for me to nag!!!  But I guess I will be ready if it is needed again!!! Secondly, I went to the sleep study, they said I have sleep apena and my OS presure drops to the 70's. They said they will see me back for a cpap machine. This scares me. I was only doing the test  to see if I could have a small apena so the insurance process might mover quickier!! Now I have one!! I am scared! I always thought of myself as fat, but healthy!! I go Monday for my upper GI, and all my testing will be done, I think! I go on Friday to the PCP and if everything is not done then I am sure he will order it.   I feel like this surgery is so close, yet so far away!! Now I know I meet all the requirments for Monila and have been told that the approve easy as long as we have everything. (The lady at my DR's says they have only ever had 1 pt denied they submitted, they resubmitted and they were aprroved)  So the dr's office says I could be looking at the end of May for surgery! Which sounds great!! I am so happy!! But yet when I see everything that has/needs to be done, I worry!!! I worry I might never get it done!! I am sorry to be so down, just got every upset with the whole insurance deal  today, and I just feel like crying!

You will get it all done, one step at a time.  And those steps will add up. As for the sleep apnea.  It's so good you found out.  When you have your cpap, you will be amazed at how much more rested and energetic you feel!  Go with the news to increase your health and ability to live a good long life.  If you are fortunate, and most people are, you will get rid of that cpap as the pounds come off. Hang in there. Janice

I know you are right about the total health, I guess it just upset me to actually find something!! My blood work came back with a few flags but nothing major!!!
