Default My Best Christmas Present this year

Well, I got the best Christmas present on yesterday morning. My doctor's office called me last week to give me dates for my surgery -- it is scheduled for February 10. I have a physical on January 30, and pre-op on February 2. When they scheduled the surgery, they still had not heard from the insurance company regarding approval. The nurse called me yesterday morning and said I was APPROVED!! I was so happy that I think I hollered in the nurse's ear. I heard her laughing at me. Now, I've really got to watch what I eat because I've gained some weight over the holidays, and I don't want the doctor to cancel my procedure because I gained too much weight. Needless to say that after Christmas, I will be watching everything I eat so I can lose 5-8 (or more) pounds, so when I go for my physical, he won't cancel it.

Yes, I am a happy person, and will definitely have a great Christmas, no matter if I receive any other gifts or not. I'm ready for February to get here!!

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.
