APPROVED!!!

All- I got word today that I've been approved!!! My surgeon's office called and talked to my husband (at home) who then called me at work. I of course started bawling right there at my desk! I called into my surgeon's office just to confirm he had the information right and to find out the next steps....he had it right!!! I was weepy the rest of the evening....you know how you hope for something but you hold your emotions back just in case it doesn't happen?! That's what I was doing and now that it IS going to happen they all just flooded me!! Thanks to everyone for your support...I'm sure I'll need you more than ever now. Christina S

Christina, CONGRATULATIONS! I remember how I felt, it was better than Christmas and 30 birthdays all rolled together. Hopefully everything will be smooth sailing for you. Best of luck on your surgery! Liz

Congrats!! Looks like we'll be rolling together! Keep us updated about your date! Christine

Hi Christina, I am so happy for you!! I can remember how I felt when I got word, just on cloud nine. This is going to be one of the most exciting times in your life. It's just not describable. Good luck, and let us know when you get your date! donna

Christina! Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kirsten

I am so happy for you. Get ready for the ride of your life. It will all be worth it!

Christina, I am so happy for you - Congrats!! I browsed your profile and noticed you have the same insurance as I do so I was wondering about a few things. I've been going to see Sally also and personally I feel like I've thrown away $250 because I didn't get much from her at the two sessions I've been at...well actually the 2nd session was useless to me -the first one was very informative. I just wonder how you felt about your nutrition appts. When I asked her about the process and how do I know that I'm gonna go thru her sessions and the physical therapists visits and all that money, she just said that Aetna would approve it. I can't help but think that I'm not going to get approved. I don't feel like I've done nearly as much as anyone else on this board has done...I haven't been told what I should be doing except for the exercising and the nutrition stuff. I have my last appt with both Sally and the other guy next week, and I'm not sure what will happen after that - like how long I'll have to wait to get the paperwork submitted and approved, etc. I really hate this waiting and not knowing. Anyway, I didn't mean to take away from your moment - Congrats again and I hope that we meet at one of the support groups. Good luck!!!
