Well. There's nothing like waiting until the last minute! I JUST got
approval from my insurance company for my surgery in the morning.
arghhhhhhh!
It's not enough to be nervous about surgery itself, but you gotta be
on pins and needles about whether insurance is gonna pay too?
So, tommorrow morning I have an EGD and surgery to repair my band
slippage. I asked the doc about putting in at least half the fill
that I had when they un-filled it and he said no. :-( He reasoned
that since I had already had the slippage, he didn't want to set the
stage for it to happen again before proper healing time. I guess
that's reasonable, but Dr. Maese was the one who suggested it.
I'm not looking forward to this, but I am ready to get back on track
losing the rest of this weight.
Wish me luck, send good thoughts, pray! I need all the help I can
get!
