So, I had my final hoop jump, kiss-my-insurance-company's-ass-visit and I met all of their nit-picky qualifications. I have been told that I will be hearing from my insurance company in four to six weeks. Four. to. Six. Weeks. Bleargh! I'm hoping it won't take that long. This is only my second waiting day and I am already going a little crazy. I'm afraid that at the end of six weeks, I'll be sitting in a corner, rocking, babbling incoherently to myself and eating my hair. LOL

So close to the end of this process yet so far away. I am just ready to get it done. I am researched, my decision is made and I feel good about it. I don't like delays when I decide to move forward on something. Time for my insurance company to get off the stick, approve me, fast and let's rock and roll.

Anyone else in the waiting-for-approval-wasteland? Let's have a drink and commiserate.

Yay! My date is November 5th. I feel so ready' date=' too. Big day is five weeks from today so I am trying to get a chunk off and practice some of the new habits for banded life. Looking forward to health and happiness -- and a lot of work over the winter and next spring, summer, etc. to make my goal. It's going to take a while but I am so committed.[/quote']
