Pending Insurance Approval....

By arnetta

· 375 views

Went to the seminar last night and met the Doctor! I am impressed with how much I still learned at the seminar. Spoke with his office today and registered online with their office and now I am waiting........on the insurance approval. I am doing okay not getting to excited....I mean it still seems like this can't be real to me. Maybe it's my self preservation mode kicking in.... so many attempts with diets and pills....failed miserably.

 

I have only told 4 people I'm considering it (outside of you guys of course ;) ) I just think that if it doesn't happen for me right now it will be easier to take the blow the less people know.....make sense?

 

On the possitive side the doctor said that if they approve everything I could have my band in as little as 5 - 6 weeks :D WOW! REALLY....

 

Oiy' these butterflies need to fly away.......I'm not in high school anymore....;)

    Congatulations! Got my fingers crossed for you, I remember the wait, the excitement when I was approved and the sick feeling in my stomach the morning I went to surgery. I am so excited for you! I agree with not telling everyone yet, I didn't tell my friends until after I was approved. My famly new because I new I was going to need their support if it wasn;t approved. But as many times as I had failed before I could not imagine what insurance company would want me to stay obese and continue to pay my health care costs. Believe me those weeks will fly by once your approved. Got to be a great feeling today.:purplebananna:
