...And I just say "nothing" because if I tell them "insurance approval" they will wonder why? and what for? Well my anonymous internet friends, my Christmas gift came early and it looks like my insurance (after my call to them today) approved my surgery! I could cry right now! I am still waiting for my approval letter and for the surgery date and I know something could happen where insurance suddenly changes their mind but right now, I am just so happy!

My fear of rejection was scaring me more than the surgery itself(reliving my college admissions all over again) and I just had to tell someone, because i've been keeping it hush hush until A.) Insurance approves or denies my request for surgery and B.) I get a surgery date.

I will still be hesitant until I get an official surgery date but I just can't keep quiet about insurance initially approving my request for surgery!

Congrats I was in that very same boat last year good luck to you!

Congratulations! And now when they ask, you can say, "gift cards", lol!

Congratulations!!!

Congrats on the approval! All I want for Christmas is to be 170pounds. Sorry, just couldn't help myself.

Congratulations and Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas and congrats! I understand, I worry I'll jinx myself so I mostly just congratulate others wishing and wishing. All the best to you!
