Guest guest Posted October 8, 2000 Report Share Posted October 8, 2000 Hi Jillian! I just wanted to say how pleased I am for you that everything went so well! I am glad you found Dr Hares to be a doctor that you will be pleased with. Don't worry about the number on the scale--as of December 11th it will never go above the weight you are that day. I keep telling myself that I will never be heavier than I am today and that is really exciting considering how many times my weight has gone up in the past. Put the number out of your head and just focus on getting yourself as healthy for surgery as possible. In the end, that will help you more than anything right now. Good luck with the insurance process--I hope that sails through non-contested! December 11th will be here before you know it! Take care!!

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2000 Report Share Posted October 24, 2000 (((((((((((((Jillian))))))))))))), Yahoo!!!!!! Congradulations i'm so happy for you!, i know it's truly a blessing to have things work out so smoothly........................Keep smiling better days ahead!!!!! To Good Health, Betty W I got approved!!! I am sitting in my office, smiling ear to ear, trying to figure out if thisis real. My doctor's office filled out my official referral for the procedureand hospital (which are out of state) and called for authorization and beforeI could get back to my office, there was a message saying that I wasapproved!!!!!!This has been an unbelieveable day for me. Through the help of W. Iwas able to secure my mothers arrival for my surgery (Thank you again) andnow I know for sure it is OK'd. My surgeon hasn't even written the letter ofmedical necessity yet.Part of me is worrying that this is too good to be true because it hashappened so smoothly. I kept asking Kim from my PCP's office "Is that it?Don't they need anything else?" and she said I was done. She faxed thereferral to Dr. Hares office with the authorization code on it and I am setfor a December 11th surgery date!I'm soooooo happy and relieved, I can hardly stand it. I want to jump up anddown and run naked through the building!!!!!!!!!!!!! (OK, I probably won'tactually do that)I AM APPROVED!!!!!!!!!!!Thank you to everyone on this list that has helped me along the way, for yoursupport, laughs, information, everything. I am completely overwhelmed by itall!Oh happy day.........I am approved.It will sink in eventually I guess.To those that are waiting for approval, I wish you the best of luck. My wishwould be that you all get to feel like I am feeling right now.Thanks for reading!JillianChicago, ILDr. HaresPre-op BMI 59Surgery date 12/11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
