Super excited that I just got approved, surgery is Monday 2/1

Wow! That was a pretty close approval to your surgery! When did they submit the paperwork? Good luck!!!

They submitted it 1/21 and I called the last few days and they kept saying it's pending. Well this morning I called and asked for the reviewing department and I spoke with an individual and explained to him that I'm due to have surgery on 2/1 and he told me he was going to expedite it. Stated that I should hear something by the end of day today. Well I heard back within 4 hours. The wait is finally over.

MICHELLE RING!! Oh my goodness, I'm a high school Spanish teacher in western Mass having surgery Wed Feb 10th, planning on being in my classroom on Monday Feb 23rd. Let's stay in touch to see how it goes, I've been a bit concerned hoping I'm not in too much pain, discomfort, etc to do my job which as you know, is a really tough draining job. Good luck to US...!!!

      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!!
