GOT MY LETTER and....

So.....ms impatient got her letter. The reason I say ms impatient is because after watching some videos on YouTube this past weekend I started freaking out about being denied and having to do the 6 month weight loss thingy. So I wanted to see if there was any inquiries about my insurance regarding bariatric and I also wanted to know if I had to do the 6 month diet thing. So...no there was no inquiries and no I don't have to do the six month thing. So I called the surgery clinic to see where my application stood, left a message. Well yesterday, literally the minute I walked out of class my phone rings and it was the clinic. The first thing that she asked was if I received the letter yet. At that time, no I had not. So we proceeded to move things along and SCHEDULE APPTS!!!!!!! So...I have my first nutritional consult next Tuesday. And then I go in for all of my initial lab work, ekg, exercise test and sleep test NEXT FRIDAY! It was initially for this coming Friday, but they had to reschedule. But SO WHAT!!! This is moving along pretty fast.

So I get home...and Taadaa...there is my letter!!! It says that I could be having the surgery anywhere from 6 weeks to 6 months. YIKES!!!

I have made a few phone calls to different psychologists to start my assessment. I called one yesterday and the lady said she was going to call me right back...NOPE. So I called again today and left a message and then I called another place. I think I want to go with the second place, I looked at her website and I really like the information provided.

So here comes the freak out part. I am freaking out! I have a mixture of emotions right now. I am scared but I am also excited.

I AM NOT OFFICIALLY ON THE JOURNEY TO A NEW HEALTHY ME!!!!!
