Default Waiting...Waiting...and more waiting....:)

So they submitted my insurance stuff on the 17th, and now i am waiting....waiting....waiting...i know it sounds like i am be impatient....ok maybe i am...but hell why couldn't it be approved already!!

I wish i was one of those people whose insurance only took a few days....you know?

I am still hoping for may, that is if they approve me on time....

On the brighter side, I am kicking tail on the pre-op diet! 13lbs down...and only 7lb to go...yeah boy!

Anyho I had to get labwork done and turns out i dont have a whole lot of vitamin D, anyone else have this problem? They says its pretty common...

Anyways just wanted to vent and blurb...hope all is doing great..

Thanks for reading!

You're doing great! Get used to waiting...it kinda comes with this territory...I think it helps you really, REALLY appreciate when your time finally arrives.

I understand how you feel. I was thinking I will have an answer back in about another 2 weeks. Come to find out at my apointment today, my pap result were never recieved. I called the lab place myself 2weeks before, had them mail and fax to Dr.Callerys office. I should of confirmed they were recieved. Im excited now that I picked up the results and drove them to Dr. Callery office. Im excited and impatient. At my job there was 200 people laid off on tuesday. Im so worried I will be laid off before my surgery so please pray for me. Im excited because it is so close yet so far away. I wish you the best and patience... Weeks go by so fast, just wait and see you will recieve a call in no time. Wish you the best

Hang in there, waiting is such a pain, but they say it "builds character" (heck, you're doing so great on your pre-op, it's obvious you got plenty of character!) Anyway, I know what you mean, I am so impatient about so many things....

To quote one of my favorite tunes of yesteryear:
