:laugh First Consult: 1/3, 2007       Viewed online 'seminar' 1/3       psych eval test 1/3       Appt to discuss Psych eval results 1/15       :clap2: Dr. Morton's office called to tell me they faxed my 300+ pages to BCBS       :faint: waiting.. waiting and well.. waiting some more:pout:       :high5: :peace: Insurance approval________?:dance: :laugh :banana       first meeting with internist at surgeons office _

oh oh oh

I'm a nervous wreck.. Dr. Morton's office just called and they faxed all of my paperwork (over 400 pages) to BCBS. They said it would be 2-4 weeks before we know something. They also said with the food journal included (which accounts for the bulk of the pages) I would be hard to turn down, however, I'm trying REAL hard not to get my hopes up. If I can just mentally count on being denied then I'll be pleasantly surprised right? Ugh.

friggin' paperwork!!

My old doctor FINALLY found all of my past paperwork and faxed it in. I went there 3 weeks ago to sign a release form and finally go them yetserday. I'm going to call Dr. Morton on Monday or later this afternoon to see if they have everything now. My current dr is supposed to send in a 4 page form for BCBS and she is fixing to go on maternity leave so I'm hoping she got it done before she left.

one step closer

I'm feeling pretty good right now. My session down town went REALLY well(psyche eval).

He feels that I am an extremely good candidate. the tests summary was basically "Tracy is a very warm and friendly person who tends to bend over backwards for others and likes for everyone to get along. She also has a good

Sheesh

Man.. worn out today. Went to work then left to go to my general dr. to get her letter of recommendation. Dr. Morton is v. convienantly across the hall from my general Dr. so i stopped by there to give them my food/exercise journal for 2006 and my personal letter to the insurance company. She gave me the phone number to the RN that I will be dealing with the most. I gave her a call and she went over the stuff I provided. She said that BCBS is VERY persnickety:huytsao and she wants me to have eve

:faint: Holy freakin crap. Had my consultation today. My BMI is......54 how the geebbies am I even walking around???:omg: ANYwho... I'm hitting them with TONS of paper. I have been food journaling on caloriesperhour.com since jan of 06/ I have printed up every freakin' page and put it in a note book, have the three pages from my therapist recommending the procedure, a typed up page of my family Medical history ( THAT my friends.. was a HUGE Eye opener:eek: ) My company considers any and e

In the Beginning

:help: Well, I'm gearing up for the fight of my life. I'm 36, will be 37 Jan 31st. for the past 15 years I've been over 200. The past 10 years I've been over 250 and the past 5 over 300. I think I need to get of this ride. I love food. I love to eat. I don't eat as much junk as one would assume a person of my size would eat, but what I do eat.. I eat a lot of. I consider myself a quantity eater... even if it's salad. I've been following this procedure for about 4 years now but my insu
