Tomorrow I am a LOSER!
Jun 22, 2011
Well after almost two full months of looking forward to it, the time is nigh.
Tomorrow I begin a new journey in my life. Tomorrow IS change.
I look back and think about how my life has been with all of "me".
-How many dates did I refuse because I feared rejection because of my weight?
-How many trips to amusement parks did I want to go on, but know I couldn't because I couldn't fit on the rides?
-How many times have I walked into a restaurant with friends and family and feared I wouldn't fit into the booth we would be put into?
-How many times did I go to the bathroom and realize how hard it's getting to CLEAN myself?
-How many times have I been chowing down while driving and feeling like EVERYONE was staring at me while I ate?
-How many digs did I miss in volleyball because I couldn't get down fast enough? How many blocks have I missed because I can't jump because of my weight?
-How much money have I spent in the last year ALONE in fast food?
-How many times have I eaten, even though I wasn't even hungry?
-How many nights have I woke up choking because I've aspirated my food again?
-How many times have I saw clothes that I know I would look good in and didn't even BOTHER to see if they have my size?
There is so much going through my head right now. I'm scared. I'm anxious. I'm giddy. I'm reluctant. But most important, I'm ready.

WOW!!! APPROVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Apr 12, 2011
OK so I was feeling kind of down today and decided I would call my insurance company just to check in on the process and the CSR said I was APPROVED!
I about crapped my pants. I couldn't believe her. I asked her to fax me a copy of the letter (which she said was in the mail already) just so I could believe it! It came!!!
I still don't think it's set in yet. So much will be happening now I will be busy and even more stressed but a good stressed. Now I just have to get a surgery date and then the testing, etc etc.
What I can't believe is that it only took my insurance company literally 6 days to get me my approval. Unbelievable.
Well thats all for now, but SO MUCH TO DO AND THINK ABOUT............

Alright, well here it goes!
On 4/06/2011 I called my insurance company, BCBS of AL and confirmed that they had received my request for approval packet. They said that they had received it. So now it's just a matter of waiting to hear their response. The customer service rep stated that I need to allow 30 days for a response. I hope and pray that it goes through and goes through quick. I have a good feeling about this. If anyone reads this please pray for me and/or keep your fingers crossed LOL.
