Woot...Psych Eval done...

and I'm not crazy!!!!

But we already knew that! :) Dad drove me...he's a crazy driver. I think next time I'll drive and have mom or dad be the passenger. His stoppin' and goin'....grrrr my head was pounding! Anyways...the lady was nice. She looked kinda crazy, but I think that comes with the job? I filled out a 25 question sheet while I was waiting for her to get ready for me. Then she called me back and we talked about my answers for like an hour. She said I have gotten a pretty good start on changing my life, I just need to keep doing the things that I'll need to do when I get the band put in. That way I'm ready...and won't be struggling.

Sooooo....now is the waiting period. I'm waiting for the insurance people to approve me :) Keep your fingers crossed!!

Not good...

I dunno what I was thinking, but last night I discovered that I will no longer be able to drink my Smirnoff Ice's after the surgery! Time to find a new signature drink for when I do go out...I'm thinking Daquiris??

Less than two weeks til the Psych Eval...I need to email Yuko to make sure she got my medical records!

Last night was kind of a wake up call...I can't dance anymore like I used to be able to a few years back. Now, I realize that's cuz I rarely go dancing nowadays, but DAYUM!! Our lil' group was fun, didn't make me feel any different...but lord knows I'm the biggest one and I don't like it :( This surgery is going to be a blessing in the skies for me...I need a jump start on the rest of my life!!

The insurance chick called on Thursday...

and she just wanted to follow up about my doctor's office sending over my records. Yuko said the lady at the office said they never got the fax....YEAH RIGHT! So, she was on the phone with them and forwarded another request at the same time. I hope this all goes through and works out with insurance. *fingers crossed*

Woot...

Well, I tried calling ODH (One Day Health) today to see if I could schedule my Psych eval earlier...no such luck. The lady was nice and said I could keep calling if I wanted to! :)

Yuko, the insurance chick called me today...I need to return her call tomorrow. Hopefully it's nothing bad, and she's just informing me what has happened on her end.

It's just a matter of time. Was talkin' to my parents a lot today about the surgery. They are being VERY supportive of it. Of course, my dad scooped a piece of cabbage and a tiny part of a potato on my plate and said that was all I could have....LMAO. Dork!!

Woot!

Well today went very well...saw the doctor for a bit, he said it looks like I'm a good candidate (kinda ironic) for the surgery, which is an excellent thing. We then went to talk to the nutritionalist about my dieting pre-op, and post-op....should be interesting. 1/2 cup of food per meal! Lots and lots of liquids in between though. I'm going to start using the techniques now, the no eating and drinking at the same time. No drinks up to a 1/2 hour before and after the food part of the meal. And then of course...the constant chewing of my food to tiny tiny bits. LOL
We then met with the insurance chick...she was cool as hell. Very nice lady...and it looks like we're gonna get it all worked out with my insurance as far as the paperwork is concerned. We're just waiting on my medical records to be faxed over, and of course the psych eval. NO, I'm not a crazy....but it's required for the insurance. I've got that appointment on March 30th at 7:30AM! Nothing like an early morning thing...might as well get it done asap!

I'm nervous, scared, excited....I just kinda want it to happen NOW! LOL I'm impatient....can't you tell??

First Consult Today...

at One Day Health up in Chicago. I'm nervous and excited at the same time...I just want to get this show on the road and see what's going to happen. I'll post again this evening about what happens or is said/done!
