Waiting for the insurance ok...

I am going crazy waiting to hear form my insurance company. I think they are trying to get me to give up and not have this done. We have been denied now more times than I can count. The funny part is that they have everything they are looking for. :thumbup: I have gone thru the sleep study and wow that was the weirdest thing I have ever done! All my pre testing is done and I am jsut waiting fo rthe insurance. I must admit i am a little nervous. I mean I know this is what I want to do! I know I can be successful at it. I am trying to ease myself in tothe pre surgury diet now before I have to do it. I LOVE UNJURY Protein!!! I tis so good. I mix it with the 1/2 skim and 1/2 skim milk cubes that I have frozen. It is totally like a milkshake!!!! My son even tested it one day and thought mom should you have this? :smile: I am a workout girl, so I am worried as to how long before I will be able to get back into that after surgury? I will keep you posted thru my progress and let you know how I do. Right now I am at 227 and hope to go to 135 by the end of this...that was my before babies weight...

Hang in there! Insurance is the most nerve-wracking part of this whole process. As for working out after, I was told I couldn't do anything but walk or stationary bike for the first month after surgery. When I went for my first fill (which ended up being postponed until 6 weeks), the dietition said I should wait until 8 weeks to start back doing Jazzercise (which includes aerobics, weights, and core work), but my surgeon's assistant said I could go ahead and start it again as long as I was careful to stop anything if it started hurting. So, I've been starting to get back into the groove of it. Yes, its a bummer to give up exercise you are actually enjoying for awhile after surgery, but its totally worth it. Good luck w/the insurance. It took me two appeals, but I was finally granted coverage.
