I have been on this site for well over a year. I have been through a lot in that year, as I am sure we all have been. When I started here our insurance wouldn't pay for any WLS. So my only option was to go to MX. I had planned to have it Jan 17 2013 with Dr. Lopez in PV. I met 2 great ladies here during that time who were having surgery same place and same time and another who was having surgery with DR. Alvarez at the same time. We have stayed in touch and I call those ladies friends. They have done awesome!!! But I had to cancel due to some family issues. My marriage was on the rocks, mom was having surgery, a lot of crap!!! I went into a deep depression at this time cause I felt like I shoulda forgot everyone else's crap and took care of me.
Low and behold insurance began paying for WLS right after that and I began hoop jumping as of April. I finished up SEpt 13th they submitted my file that day to insurance did all my pre op testing and we scheduled surgery that day for October 1st. I have been having a bout of negativity since. Thinking there would be no way I would get the approval back by then. I will probably get denied for some obscure reason. Something will happen.
Well God saw fit to take care of it for me and I got My APRROVAL today!!!!! Yay!!!! Me!!!!
I have one week and y'all better move in over on that losers bench!!!!
