Everyone keeps asking what I want for Christmas...



Recommended Posts

...And I just say "nothing" because if I tell them "insurance approval" they will wonder why? and what for? Well my anonymous internet friends, my Christmas gift came early and it looks like my insurance (after my call to them today) approved my surgery! I could cry right now! I am still waiting for my approval letter and for the surgery date and I know something could happen where insurance suddenly changes their mind but right now, I am just so happy!

My fear of rejection was scaring me more than the surgery itself(reliving my college admissions all over again) and I just had to tell someone, because i've been keeping it hush hush until A.) Insurance approves or denies my request for surgery and B.) I get a surgery date.

I will still be hesitant until I get an official surgery date but I just can't keep quiet about insurance initially approving my request for surgery!

Merry Christmas and congrats! I understand, I worry I'll jinx myself so I mostly just congratulate others wishing and wishing. All the best to you!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
