I am overwhelmed. When I say you can't beat God's timing. I have pleaded my heart to my family, tried to get insurance through job's to cover surgery and even asked for charitable donations. Nothing worked. This started when I was 19 years old. 14 years later I was blessed with an amazing job with great benefits that cover bariatric surgery. I started my process on March 30, 2016 and finished July 6, 2016. All of my information was submitted to my insurance on July 18, 2016 and on July 25, 2016 I received a call that would change my life forever. I was APPROVED! Surgery date 8/15/2016. I start my liquid diet 8/1/2016. When I say I need somebody to pinch me and wake me up, I am so overwhelmed. I can't say thank you to God enough and for you guys for listening to me vent on the process and being there for me. You guys I am so excited!!!! Someone calm me the heck down.

Didn't make my goal but was close... 364.0 I will take it; -)
Thanks so much for your challenge. It really motivated me and it was great to see everyone working together to better ourselves! Go us!!!!!

366.6

Congrats. So happy for you. Everything you went through motivated me because I have had some obstacles and felt like giving up. But I know I have to fight for this and not give in. I know it was worth going through once you are done with surgery and on your way. Congrats once again.

Hey guys. I had Surgery yesterday morning and everything went extremely well. I wasn't nauseous so that was a plus. I didn't get discharged around 4pm today. I had an hour ride home and my friend drove me home. The car ride home sucked. I'm still really sore but other than that I'm doing great!!

Yes it was meant to be. No weapon formed against you shall prosper. What God has for you can't nothing change that. You go girl. Remember you are blessed. Keep us posted.

I am praying for us sweetie. I know God will work it out. The wait is terrible though.

Well dawnie updates on me. I had a surgery date for July 11th. Unfortunately that has been postponed. My doctor didn't have a complete 90 days of appointments of me being on the program. I need one more appointment for the month of June which thank God I was able to get a last minute appointment on June 30th. Then I have to do an end of program appointment with my doc to discuss my progress on the program and anything relating to surgery in general. Then they will submit the remaining info to Aetna on my open case and reach a decision then. Hopefully I can have approval and a surgery date by end of July or early August. Trying to stay prayed up and keep my faith.

Me too! My case is in the hands of AETNA & the grace of God. One day at a time.
