OOOOOOOOH MY GOSH EVERYBODY....IT'S OFFICIAL....JULY 8TH AT 7:45 A.M. I WILL HAVE MY TUMMY TUCK!!! WOOOHOOOOO The authorization went in today
They received the letter from the doctor late on Friday...was put in the system Monday morning on some freak thing or it was put in on Friday and didn't show up until Monday because they were closed (I shamelessly called and checked) This morning I called again (couldn't help myself) and the lady told me it was received but not to expect an answer to probally Friday
So I thought oh well..that's what I expected anyway. But...at 4:30 this afternoon I couldn't stand it any more and I called my surgeon's office. Latasha told me she had received the fax just a bit earlier and had already called the house and left a message on my machine
OH MY GOSH I started crying right there on the phone...then she was about to cry and people in my office heard me and came running thinking something was wrong hehe then we all celebrated and hugged and I cried some more
So...wow...I can't believe it and I can't believe they approved it so quickly. But honestly, like I told my Mom, it's not hard to get something approved that is legitimate. It's only when people are trying to run a scam or get something far fetched approved that it can get complicated. I just honestly can NOT believe it is true!!
So now I need to talk to my health advisor or Nancy and maybe the nurser and find out how best to transition in Mid June I guess?? I don't know. I can't even imagine transitioning to maintenance. I'm going to go full on as long as I can, but I know I will have to change over and be comfortable with food again before the surgery. But I want to continue to use my MF supps as part of my maintenance plan as well. Wow...I"m scared now to be honest. SO much going through my head.
Anyway..plenty of discussions to be had. I just had to jump on here and tell you guys as soon as I could!! YIIPPPPEEEE I'm finally going to have the BIG FAT BELLY MONSTER LOPPED OFF
CHEERS!
