What The Insurance Company said... Or are waiting on..?
Friends,
I got a call yesterday at 1:00p.m. It was from Dr. Hodge's office my WlS. They told me that my pcp forgot to put my weight for the last five years and also forgotten to write that I have been obese for the last five years. But other than that I am APPROVED!

They then said get that to them as fast as I can. I got off the phone
while I dailed my pcp's office and told them what was still needed of them and please have it sent to them quicky.
I am waitting to hear back when my surgery date is and when I start my pre-op diet. I am so on cloud nine right now.
It seem like everything was going wrong for me the last pass month. I hurt my ankle and foot alot with my knee. Could not do any exercises and gained 10 pounds because of it. I was feeling really low and having to wait to see when they were even going to send out my paper work. And this call really made my day.
This is for everyone that has helped me through my tough times and the good times too. I GOT APPROVED!!!!!!!!!
Thank you all for your kindness and help. When I felt down or did not want to carry on you were all behind me cheering me on. Thank you ! This is for all the help you all have given me.
Friends
F is for the fear that comes alot with each surgery as it draws near.
R is for the the readiness that comes along with the surgery.
I is for the ice cream we can not have atfer the surgery
E is for the emotions that come pouring out of us when we lose the first five pounds
N is for the new you after the surgery
D is for the very last diet you will ever have to be on for the rest of your life
S is for the smiles you can not seem to stop doing since your surgery.
When you put that all together you spell Friends. And I could not have found a better group of friends than my friends here at obesity Help. Please forgive my mussiness. But I felt I had to express how I feel. And I am feeling pretty lucky to have good friends like you all here.
Well, I got to go.
Your friend,
Tina





















Laura,
Thank you so very much for you consideration and word of couragement.
I think maybe next week will be when they asigned me my surgery date.
I hope so at least.
I am hoping the surgery will be done before January 1st. so I can start the new year with a new start and a new out look on life. A real out look that I have been holding back for soooooo
long. Thank you again for your kind words.
I will keep them with me through out my waiting and surgery.
I hope that everyone who is on this site feel as I am feeling now and I hope they get their surgeries too.
Thank you for all your kindness.
Your friend,
Tina
