    Slim n TN I definately think there is some jealousy going on. Unfortunately not everyone wants to see you thinner and healthier. Oh, well you have to do what is right for you!
  2. You look GREAT!! Congrats!

    how long for BCBS approval?

    NurseKY: I really don't get it! A person who is overweight and is having Angina certainly should qualify for this procedure, no questions! The insurance companies still don't get it. This is a procedure that, in the end, will decrease your risk for heart dz, diabetes, Cancer among other issues. I just get so frustrated with the ins. companies. !

    Getting a little closer

    Well, At this point I just need to have the GB ultrasound and the upper GI. Then, I go to see Dr. Steinberg for my surgery date. It looks like it will be sometime in October. It is still far away, but it seems more of a reality. I am conflicted as to who I should tell and when...I will think about it.

    'tick tock' tick tock'

    :tongue2: The confused look seems to be my look of the week. I am so trying not to obsess with the whole approval vs not approval thing. If I get approved, I have a date in mind and a schedule worked out. I work 12 hours at a retail clinic, so I need to make sure I pace myself well. I will most likely take vacation time and then just bunch the rest of the days together as days off. I plan on working a few extra weekends because I only have to do 6 hours on the weekend. That is IF I am approved. If I am not approved, I guess, I will have to go through the whole appeal process, which does not seem too difficult. The difficulty will come if I receive a final denial.:smile2: But, at this point, I am stil just in the waiting phase and I cannot focus on something I cannot control. Once this is all done, I am seriously thinking about getting another job, maybe at the beginning of the year...I will have to see. I just began a doctorate program.:thumbup: I hope by the time I finish these biostats and epidemiology courses, I gain some knowledge...
