Getting My Sleeve from Blue Cross!
Thank you all for your support and suggestions about what to do if Blue Cross did not come around on approving me for the gastric sleeve.
Wha hoo!! I just got the call from my Dr's office that I am approved!!
Now full steam ahead for Jan. 6 -- talk about a gift on El Dia de Los Reyes -- the Day of the Kings (Epiphany)
It was probably good for me to go back and re-read all of my options, so I am even more committed to my choice. The sleeve is the right way for me to go! And I looked at the "no action" option as well, which reconfirmed why I need to do this. (the 6 -- count them -- SIX comorbidities are bad, bad news -- limits to my protein sources of an allergy to fish and not eating pork for religious reasons -- need to still have access to red meat -- and need for periodic prednisone for my asthma -- which can cause ulcers in a RNY patient) probably tipped the balance with Blue Cross. Thank God, I didn't have to eat enough to raise my BMI to 50 -- I don't think I can eat that much every day any more!
I'm so happy, I'm dancing in circles (good exercise)!
