I've mailed it out. My form requesting gastric bypass. As soon as they get the packet, a nurse will start reviewing the information and run my insurance claim through to see what hoops I have to jump through to be covered. I feel good about this. Really good. Tentatively optimistic.
I didn't go to water aerobics tonight because of my stupid back and stupid ankle. Also I had to work on my accounting homework. I've got my alarm set for today though, so I can get in a workout before class at 6:30.
There wasn't enough room on that form for me to go over all the things I've tried to lose weight. There wasn't enough room for me to talk about how I feel now, and how I could benefit from the surgery. I tried to sum it up as best I could. Before my hysterectomy my life was ruled by pain. After the surgery, I had my life back. But now, due to unexpected circumstances, my life has been taken away by obesity. I can just imagine what it will be like. What it will be like to be pain free, and at a reasonable weight. What it will be like to jump on top of Nathan and throw off all of my clothes, without asking him to turn off the lights. Finally, FINALLY being comfortable. It's hard to express in words how badly I want this.

Do they have you come in for an individual consultation after they review your info and insurance stuff? That will be another time to talk about how you feel right now. I HOPE EVERYTHING GOES WELL!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah. You have to have a consultation, do a psych eval, have a colonoscopy, upper gi scope, and meet with a nutritionist. They've got all the bases covered.
ReplyDeleteDAYUM. Yeah, I'd say. Probably a good thing though.
