Well Lets review this past month... I was told earlier this month that my pcp over looked weigh in forms faxed to my surgeon.. was not good enough..and the insurance lady in the office said I needed to loose more weight.. and that my reasons of not keeping below starting weight was not good enough..umm my reasons was I had water gain..swelled up like crazy from heat.. needed water pills hello why do you think I need this surgery!.. like I had some nasty thoughts of where she could shove those papers.. Lord forgive me... SO I go on liquid diet to drop fast.. I was freaking out.. .. SO then I get a call from the office again about 1.5 weeks later.. a new lady.. so nice..and very new.. hmmm wonder what happened to the other old quack.. again lord forgive my thoughts.... even though entertaining thoughts of reaching through the phone and saying ARE YOU KIDDING ME... but NOOOOO I stayed good....OK.. so lets move up to speed here... the NEW nice lady.. tells me..that my Tricare prime.. is not authorizing my visits to this surgeon that I been dealing with since march... WHAT!!!! ..insurance reasons.. its over 40 miles/ 1hr away from my home... did those ppl see where I live! I am in middle fo nowhere... I have to travel 20 miles to a ER... OKKKK... NEXT IDIOT... lol... SO then I am given a list of things to get done.. 1.. PCP send referral for request for me to see this DR I been seeing.. oh yeah.. OK.. 2. get a Thyroid Test.. as required by tricare.. hmmm I just did blood work 3 weeks ago.. ok.. thrill me... I did the test AGAIN... all done last Fri... over week ago.. So.. this new nice lady... oops she has a name.. Donna.. all offices need somebody as nice as her.. I would buy her a plant she is so nice.. lol.. SO.. ok..review is done..here is Todays news.. I got a letter from my insurance... wait for it....................visits to surgeon is APPROVED...........oh yeah... ok theres more.. lol..... but only 5 visits between now and feb 2011...... and now I just wait for the surgery approval... SO this made it.....I am sure my surgery will be approved now.. and thank the lord !

Ok I am done reviewing and updating ... Pray for a surgery approval asap!

Whewwww, wonderful news Tammy.  Stay with this nice worker.  The time will fly by till Feb.  Take this one visit at a time.  Renew you weight loss efforts.  Every pound gone before surgery will make the surgery process all the easier for both you and the surgical team.

Praying for your surgery approval asap as requested.  Mega hugs

 I pray that it gets approved.  Yeah the hoops the make us go through are crazy. that psych test was way wrong on me. it came up as saying I have never had any major trauma in my life and I had a very traumatic life.
