Surgery date...

I got a call from Annie yesterday with a date for a revision surgery. It's tentative for October 13th. She is just waiting for insurance approval. I am cautiously optimistic that my insurance will approve the revision. I just hate the waiting part of all of this. I haven't told anyone other than my husband, sister, a few close friends about the possibility of this surgery. I don't think people will have anything negative to say but I just feel like this is something I don't want to share, does that make sense??

So during all of this my sister, she's my twin, is now considering a bypass as well. She has always struggled with her weight as well, I mean we did go through the same trauma growing up. She is going to the information session on September 29th to get the details. The program director sent out her packet of info. that she will have to bring with her on the 29th. If you haven't gone through the process of filling out the paper work, be prepared because it's a lot and is very involved. I did mine over a course of a few days. It really put so much in perspective though. Anyway, my sister has witnessed all of the struggles I have had and knows that any weightloss surgery is going to be a challenge but she's ready. I have strongly recommeded and encouraged her to see Dr. B because of the experiences I have had with him. She said she wouldn't consider anyone else because she knows all that I have been through and the amazing support he has offered. I am excited for her as I know her quality of life will improved immensely.

Now I wait to hear about my insurance approval. I am doing my best to be patient because there's really nothing I can do about it.

Warm and healthy wishes to you all,
Jenn
