Day Five.....

Ok....so yesterday didn't go so well....I cheated......I ate a small McDonald's Cheeseburger without the top bun and a chicken strip!! I felt horrible!!

So far today has been better. I just keep thinking I only have five more days!! I am so tired of being hungry!! I don't know if it is all in my head or if I truly am hungry. I try not to think about food but....what's one to do when previously I admit I ate a lot??

Trying to start getting everything in order for next week. I am making sure I have things that I am going to need packed. I have to make sure my baby is taken care of...which I know he will be because my sister is taking care of him. But I have to see what days he isn't eating lunch at school and put all that together for her to send with him on those days. Whew!! It's a lot of work!!

I'm going to be ok though!! I just know it!! Well 5 days down 5 to go!!! :0) Later!!

First day of liquid diet....

Ok so today is the first day of my liquid diet. I think I am doing pretty good. I have drank some water this morning and had a Sugar Free Jello Pudding cup. I feel a little hungry but I'm not sure if that is head hunger or real hunger. I CAN DO THIS!!! I know I can!! I don't need to doubt myself. :0(

GOT A DATE!!!!

I got a date!! September 9, 2008!!! That is my surgery date!! YAAY!! We also got the loan!! God is awesome!! Prayer works!! As if I had any doubt!! :0) Just wanted to update a little!!

testing...one...two...three...

Ok so I called this morning to my PCPs office to get in to see him so he can schedule all the testing I need to have done and to give me my medical clearance and the lady tells me that he is booked up until the 16th of next month!!! What??!! No!!! So I'm telling her that I have to see him sooner than that because I don't want to wait until Oct to have my surgery done. So I emailed Lisa and told her what was going on and she asked me how far I live from Pascagoula and I said about 2 to 2 1/2 hours but I don't care how far I have to travel!! I am ready now!! UGH!! So she emailed me back and said that I could go to Mobile and have my testing done and hopefully I can get in to see Dr. B before Sept. 16...which most of the time they are pretty good about getting me in when I call. Anyway, if all goes good and Dr. B doesn't take too long my surgery will be scheduled for Sept. 9, 16, or 23!!! I am so excited!! hehe!! I will update later when I know more!! Wish me luck!!

No date yet.....

Hopefully by this afternoon I can write and say that I have a definite date for my surgery but as of yet I don't. I am hoping for the first week in September. I am so ready. Good things come to those who wait, right? I am becoming a master of waiting. I don't know if I have lost anymore weight. The scales that I have suck!! One minute they say one thing and the next minute they say another. Weird. Well sorry so short....gotta run!! :0)

Approved

Called the insurance company again today. The guy that I talked to said I am APPROVED!!!! He gave me the approval # and everything!! I am so excited!! Although, now I have to wait for the surgeons office to get a letter from the insurance company before they will schedule anything. Hopefully they will get it by Monday!! I am so excited!! I just can't control myself!! hehe 21 days!! That's how long it took for me to get approved!! WOW!!

Confusion....

Called the insurance company again today. Well this lady tells me that they are still pending on approval because at the same time that the request for gastric bypass came in so did a request for gallbladder surgery for me!! WHAT!!!??? I have never even had my gallbladder checked much less wanted to have surgery on it. haha So I have called the surgeons office and emailed the insurance coordinator there. So far no answers!! This is weird. The lady that I talked to at the insurance company said that the nurse that is reviewing my case wants to know if it is medically necessary to have the gallbladder surgery done. I have hope though that they are going to get it straightened out and approve me soon. :0) LATER!
