Well at this time I decided not to appeal with a attorney ..... I called my PCP and asked him to review my blood work and see if I was border line on any of my labs like blood pressure or cholesterol.... He said my cholesterol was borderline so I asked him of he could write a letter stating that and how it runs in the family..... So I called the bariatric program and tried to enroll again but they say it needs to be a medicated cormorbitity.... So I'm waiting for my dr letter to see if he stated its medicated ..... I've been calling everyday so see of he has written that letter and he hasn't.... It's been 2 weeks. Grrrrr I see my surgeon Monday was hoping to have it by then. But guess that was to much to ask. So I'm playing the waiting game like always! So I've been dealing with this for NINE months now. Hoping all the stress and waiting pays off soon.....

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
