Playing The Waiting Game...

By nelle1230

Alright, so who has done everyrthing that they needed to do in order to get the surgery, and are just waiting on that pesky approval...THIS GIRL RIGHT HERE!!!

I have Kaiser Permanente and there is 6 months worth of nutritionist appointments, information sessions, and weight loss classes, and now I have to wait on my approval. I'm so nervous but excited at the same time, and I'm not even sure that I am getting approved...Although I'm pretty sure that I'm getting approved.

Think positive thoughts Janelle. Good Luck to anyone that is in the same boat!

    <---- waiting

    Patiently I might add, I know I shouldn't rush it because there is still many things I need to do before hand, but the waiting really bites! I have 3 more months and have done everything. Just purchasing and preparing myself, I guess that is all we can do for now.

    Thank goodness I found this site to read and write. I have learned so much here from all you nice people :)
