(Go Ahead, Sing Along) "the Waiting Is The Hardest Part..."

I've now completed everything in my pre-filing six month period, so all I can do is wait. While I'm not a good wait-er (see previous entries) I feel pretty good about it this time. The ladies that file insurance in my doctor's office seem to feel very confident that I'll get an approval right away. We're hoping to possibly get the surgery in before the end of the year, which would be wonderful for a number of reasons. But I'm still very nervous. For instance, there's still the esophageal scope that has to be done. If there's anything weird on there, they can't do the surgery. I think I might just be worrying now because it's in my nature. Either way, I'm just ready for some news. It's Monday, and I hope to hear something within the next week to ten days.

 

So fingers crossed! I'm so ready for this!!!

Hi There! I'm with you, I HATE weighting!! I'm a planner by nature, and not having control of when my consult will be is killing me! I just completed my 6 month weigh in yesterday with my PCP and everyone in her office is so excited for me. But not me. I have my psych eval tomorrow morning and don't have my endoscopy scheduled until the 27th of this month...can't that doctor see me any sooner?!?! Now I'm starting to get nervous though, a little scared is more like it. My goal is also to have it done by the end of the year as well.

Good luck to you, I hope you hear something soon!!
