tightness in torso...

Ok, well, I know why it's there, but I have an unpleasant tightness in my torso area. Wanna know what it's from??     I'M STILL WAITING FOR AN ANSWER!!! ugh..........:faint:   Nicole is supposed to be calling my insurance company today to find out what the deal is, but i haven't heard from her yet. I called and left her a message to call me back and let me know what they said even if it wasn't a definite yes or no...i'm just curious how much longer it's going to take.   When I'm h

dum de dummmmm............**waiting**

Well, I'm still going a bit nuts, but JUST before I left work yesterday I got a call. I'd left a message for the lady at the insurance company to call me back and just verify that they had my packet there for review (too many holdups at this point, i wanted to KNOW they had it).   LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG story short, I talked to her for about 10-15 minutes about all kinds of things related to the surgery, corrected my height (they had me as 5'7 and i'm 5'5) and I asked her at the

AARRGGHH!!!

Ok, I'm going absolutely insane now. :Banane10:   they FINALLY got all my info on Friday (over 2 weeks behind at that point). And here it is, the following Thursday and I still haven't heard anything. I know I need to give them time. I know God is working on this. But i can't help but obsess about it! I just want an answer dangit!   It's eating me up inside....and I'm trying to forget about it...but...I can't! :help: :help: :help: :help:   We were going to get a house (which would

update..

wow...so much has happened.   Well, LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG story short, it took until YESTERDAY for the pshchologist to get my paperwork to the surgeon's office. And there was a lot of rudeness and ripping into people (not by me -- Nicole at the office took care of that for me - she let the shrink AND her receptionist know that their behavior (and delays) were UNacceptabe).   So As of yesterday, I'm finally where I should have been 2 weeks ago!

Wondering....

I made a post today "Not changing mind, but wondering if they're right?".   LONG story short...coworkers tried to talk me out of surgery this morning when I told them I'd lost 7 lbs this week.   Yeah, by the way, I've lost 7 lbs this week!!! :-D Gulping down those nasty protein shakes (and green beans) at lunch is working! This gets me to a total of 11 lbs since seeing Dr. Cywes the first time :clap2: :mad: :biggrin1:   But...it just kinda bothered me that they just don't get it. A

Minor setback...

Ok, so I found out some bad news today (not horrible, but irritating). I got a call from the surgeon's office asking me which psychologist i went to. I told them and they said that my packet hasn't been sent off yet mainly because the girl who does them at their office had been out sick, but also because the psychologist hasn't sent the info from my evaluation yet!!!   That irritates me because I saw her 4 days short of a month ago!:faint: I mean, come on, how long does it take to fax over

Here we go (hopefully)....

Well, I just discovered this journal here on LBT. I've been being told by countless people I needed to start one specifically for this surgery. I'm not so good with the paper and pen though. My mom bought me a beautiful paper journal...but..it's still empty :-(   So, right now, I'm at the stage where I'm waiting for approval from my insurance company. Even though I have faith in God and I know he would not get me this close and cut me off, I'm still worried I'll get denied. He made me th
