Wonderful, Wonderful, Wonderful News.

 

My HR consultant emailed me about 30 minutes ago to tell me that I am approved. Finally I am approved. Prayer works through anything and everything prayer works.

I am so excited that I can hardly sit still. Now I am scarred out of my mind.

 

Any information that you can give will be really helpful.

 I want to thank my friend @ OH for all your support. This time was very difficult in my life and I couldn’t have made it through without your support. I have a cry headache but I am so happy right now. Till we speak. Marcia.

I just wanted to update my profile since I haven’t done it in a while. I received a call from my Aunt stating that my Uncle’s lung had collapsed and that he was in the hospital. My heart goes out for her because almost a year ago my grandmother broke her ankle and my Aunt and my mom has been taking care of her. My mom has flown from Texas to Alabama several times to help out and my Aunt is not in the best of health so it has been hard for her. My Uncle and I really do not have a good relationship. Since I was a child he was the uncle that always called me fat, ugly, spoiled and so on. As I got older I would try to avoid him or act like it didn’t bother me, but he would always make a point to find me to humiliate me.

 

I spoke with my HR rep and she stated that she is still waiting on a response from UHC so it is just a waiting game now. I have met so many wonderful people on this site that continuously give me support and words of encouragement and I want to say thank you.

 

I was reading Glen’s profile and he stated that he went to buy a Mother’s Day present in the store and he was laugh at twice. You know it is a shame that people are like that. My sister use to tell me how could I get to a point of no return and that all I needed to do was change my eating habits and the weight would just fall off. A few years after she said that she started to pick up weight quickly and I told her that she only had herself no husband or kids so she could have a freezer full of lean cuisine and the weight would just fall off. Now she doesn’t say anything about my weight and I don’t say anything about hers.

But I said all of that to make a point that we still are people it is just more of us to love. We have feelings. Every one has issues in there life.

 

Till we speak. Marcia

Hello Everyone, My Lord today has been a day and a weekend. I emailed my HR rep and asked her the qualifications for UHC and she just emailed me back and stated that it is “NOT” written in the policy to be on a 12 month medically supervised diet and she will have my case reviewed. So that is wonderful please keep me in your prayers.

 

 

 

 

A couple of days ago Daphne called me and stated that UHC (United Health Care) changed the qualification of my group and now I have to be under a Doctor’s care for a year in order to have my surgery. I was shocked because I started this process back in Oct of 07 and I could have almost been finished with it, but to have someone state that you have to start from the beginning is a lot to swallow.

 

 

 

I have an appointment today with my PCP to discuss any way she can help me, so please keep me in your prayers. I told my mom that I physically couldn’t wait another year because I feel like I am drowning in my own body. I wake up at night in a sweat because I can’t breathe. My body aches from the time I get up until I go to bed. I am totally out of breath from walking from my kitchen to my bathroom. I am just tired and just want some relief.

 

 

 

For mothers day I really wanted to find a place that wasn’t so expensive and just submerge myself in water and just have a day for me. Well that didn’t happen. I ended up working for mother’s day, but my kids came to my job with there cards and that was great.

 

 

 

I will try to update my profile once a week and a special thank you to Shawn for answering a lot of questions some personal and to all of my friends on Obesity Help for sending me encouraging words and for your prayers.

 

 

 

Talk to you soon. Marcia

Today is 05/05/08 and it is going o.k... I was busy @ work so I didn’t get a chance to call Daphne and ask her what was the missing information that UHC was requesting. I will do that in the morning. But for now I have 45 minutes before I get off from work (YEAH!!!!) and I can’t wait. I really prayed over the weekend and I know that God does everything for a reason and I know now that I wasn’t physically prepared for the surgery. I still have to take these awful pills due to bacteria being in my stomach that makes me gassy as hell. It is a bad feeling to be in the middle of doctor’s and nurses and you’re so bloated that you could just explode all over the hospital. I know TMI, but that is how I am feeling.

 

All my family has left and I am pretty sad that my aunt has left. We really bonded on this trip and I am so blessed to have her in my life.

 

 This Thursday my baby girl will be turning 5 and she is so excited. I am excited as well, but sad once again because she is growing up. I have no more babiesL. I know that I will have to deal with her father’s B.S. and I am not in the mood for that. I have a question that I ask men all the time and they can never give me an answer, so if there are any men or women  reading this and you have an answer for me please respond. My question is “If the father of your child or children lives or dates women who has children, why is it that not in all cases that he will take care of her kids before he takes care of his own. My thing if you’re with her and she has kids then that is fine it is a package deal, however do not let your own kids lack anything because you’re trying to take care of another man’s child. This is sad to say, but if he doesn’t call her on her birthday it doesn’t phase her at all and that is sad. If I tell her to call him, then she says why he can call me if he wants to talk to me. My baby is a little old lady.  

Sorry I kind of went off the subject, but I needed to get that off of my chest. Talk to you soon.

 

 

I am @ work and Daphne calls me to state that my insurance denied me due to missing information. When she told me this my heart just drop to the floor and tears started to flow and I told her that I would call her back after I got myself together.

Once I did I called Daphne and she was upset like me and stated that she would appeal and do everything in her power to get it approved.

After talking with my mom, I felt better, because this could be a blessing in disguise. I was going to delay my surgery by a couple of weeks anyway to make sure that I had enough time to cover me. In spite of this news I will still praise and bless the lord for bringing me this far.

Today I am still waiting to hear if my insurance is approved or not. I guess no news is good news. Today my knees are hurting me and my back and I am busy @ work. TGIF. My family is still in town and I am excited, but I can't keep up with them. If we go to a place and stay more than 10 minutes then it is time for me to go to the car.

My mom had the lap band about 3 years ago and she looks great. I think I mentioned that I work in a childrens hospital and things are very hectic sometimes, like yesterday. I got to work around 7am and didn't eat lunch until 5:30pm. Every time I would try to get up either a kid would code or about to code or a family member was upset.  These past 2 days are not good.

Today it is raining and I am supposed to start my low fat diet on Monday and I am a nervous wreck. I want the surgery so bad, but fear has just kicked in to overdrive. My friends and family are happy for me, but I am too scared and nervous to be happy. 

I have my CPAP machine @ home and I try every night to use it but after 20 minutes of using it I start to feel light headed and nausea. It's awful.

My family is here from Mobile, Alabama and my grandmother is 85 and sweet but she has just been saying comments that hurt my feelings and I know that she isn't doing it on purpose, but words do hurt. I will keep you posted
