I CAN'T BELIEVE I GET TO POST THIS!!!!!!!
It happened. It happened. It FINALLLLLLLLY happened!!!!!!!!!!
I AM APPROVED FOR RNY SURGERY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Holy cow holy cow holy cow!
My lovely Barix Clinics insurance coordinator called to harass my insurance on Monday (as you recall, they've been dragging this out since Sept.) Within 5 minutes, Barix called me back to say "it looks like you're going to be approved. The nurse just finished up with your paperwork today."
I was so excited I couldn't breathe. Of course I burst into tears as soon as I hung up. And ever the doubting Thomas, I waited another 24 hours and then called my insurance to verify for myself...just in case! HA! (It was true.)
For all of you who have prayed diligently and for those who have offered so much encouragement and support - thank you from the deepest part of my heart!!! You are a beautiful, amazing bunch!
Throughout my life, I have had to fight for things to happen. But this beautiful gift has been handed to me. Two years ago, I prayed that God would help me to break the food addiction, stop wasting my life and finally grow into the woman he intended me to be. I can't believe the adventures He's taken me through since then! And now, this! I've spent the last year praying that if having surgery is not His will, that He put up MAJOR roadblocks and hit me over the head so I'd know.
This was.... unhindered. Whoa.
Happy Dancin'!

Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father;
There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not;
As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be.
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided;
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!
Summer and winter and springtime and harvest,
Sun, moon and stars in their courses above
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided;
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!
Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided;
