APPROVAL APPROVAL!!! I GOT APPROVAL!!!!
I just received the email from my PCP letting me know that I got approval from the bariatric case manager!!! YAY!!!
Now things can begin on the road to surgery!
SO HAPPY!!!!
Update:
Super anticlimactic, I called the bariatric center to schedule my 30 min phone intake and now I am on a waiting list for JUNE. NOT what I wanted to hear... 3 months before I can start the 2+ month process. uuuuuuuuuggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Yay for approval! Boo for 5 months of waiting... oh my gosh! But think of it this way, you have 5 months to continue with healthy habits and maybe lose some weight before the surgery (this is also my plan even though I hope I won't have to wait 5 months).
ReplyDeleteThis is great news! I'm SO happy for you!!!
Thanks! I was bouncing around the office when I first found out. So excited. It was a bit of a let down when I found out I would have to wait so long. Everything happens for a reason tho!
DeleteCongrats to you! I know it doesn't seem good now, but you'll be thankful for the waiting period later. Use this time to learn everything you can. You are gonna rock this!
ReplyDeleteAwww thanks :) I just gotta put on my big girl panties and wait it out. I will live through it even though I dont like it. I am still happy to know I am approved though.
DeleteCongrats girl. Spend the time getting used to the new habbits so they arent a shock to you afterward. You will so ROCK THIS :)
ReplyDeleteThanks :) I am excited to get things started. I have been doing so much research into everything. I even watch surgeries on YouTube. crazy me..
DeleteYAY!!!! It is always hurry up and wait, but at least the process will start. Go girl!
ReplyDeleteStory of my life.. I feel like that is always the drill :) Still happy to know my insurance will cover the bill. Lord knows I dont have that kind of money layin around.
