What to do I am so scared and I will have insurance coverage soon!

[Guest guest]

I have been talking it over with my parents and we have decided that

I should go ahead and take the Cobra coverage and have my fistula

repaired asap since the pain is keeping me from eating healthy

causing me to gain weight and become very depressed. I have to

check on a few things before I decide to go ahead with the coverage

like will I have a deductable and how much will they actually

cover. I can go see my surgeon for free so after the New Year I am

going to do just that I was going to get another opinion of a

different surgeon. I don't know their maybe more hassel in that and

I do really trust my surgeon as he has done other surgeries on me

not just the wls. What to do decisions decisions! I am going to

call and ask more questions about the coverage because I don't know

if I will have my own deductible or what. I do know that it is the

exact same coverage as my parents but the premiums are more but it

is a new insurance since they switched at the end of Oct. I hate

being 25 and not being done with school yet all these darn

roadblocks I have had my share. I keep on going I guess that's all

that really matters and it will all work out eventually. Why am I

so scared in the mean time? I just can't make plans anymore I was

going to wait till summer I don't think I can make it that long. I

was going to work full time and get benefits through my employer. I

think I am just going to keep working at the community college as an

Educational Assistant taking notes and proctoring tests for students

with disabilites up until I have my surgery just so I can get enough

hours to get by. I also want to be able to go to my support group

my college singles group and go to the gym. I will also get to

spend more time with my dying grandmother. She is always wanting me

to stay in her room and talk. I haven't had the time and their are

just times that I don't want to talk.

I'll let you all know what I decide to do,
