Waiting is a Killer

it has been 8 years since I have decided to have weight loss surgery and I can not believe it is almost here..But I am at the point now it is out of my control. I have done everything the insurance company has wanted and I have all my request for medical records done. Now I just have to wait till I can get that final approval.. I hate waiting it is killing me already. Think I am going to go ahead and start the pre-op diet so that way when it comes time I will already have a jump on it. it is better than me just worring and waiting. Oh God please let them get this approved fast. I would be such a great birthday present for me.. that would be a dream come true! My birthday is June 18 (2 weeks just enough time to get the pre-op diet done).. anyways have not been sleeping much just been to nervious, so need to get off here and get to bed have to work tomorrow.

    It took my insurance company over 4 months to send the approval letter after I had spent 6 months doing all the necessary dietician visits and meetings! I had all but given up hope.

    Best of luck to you!!! :)
