Good News!!!!

Midwest Bariatric Surgery called me today and they have set my surgery date for June 17th. I was very surprised that they could get me in so quickly! Both of the surgeons who do Bariatric procedures want to do the surgery together since my case is a bit more complicated. Another surgeon in their surgery practice is taking some vacation time, so they scooped that day up to do mine!

Some things to pray about specifically, other than the obvious, is that Bethany's graduation party is June 27th and that feels really close to the surgery date. Also, Alex has an important doctor's appt. at the end of June in Milwaukee. So, Steve will have to take him. Steve is a great dad, but not always so great on the details! Steve is also concerned about the amount of work that he will need to take off and would appreciate prayer that the timing of all of this will be smooth.

:)

Happy Birthday Bethany!!!

I've been really, really busy the last couple of weeks. I just wanted you all to know that I got a copy of the letter sent off to the insurance company a few days ago. Now, I need to give the insurance company time to respond. Hopefully, the next post on here will be good news! Thanks for all the prayers!!!

I stopped in at the clinic earlier this week to check on the status of my surgery. At first, the receptionist was firmly explaining that they will call me when everything comes through in writing. I explained to her that I knew that, but that since I hadn't heard anything that I would appreciate her checking to make sure the new letter got sent to the insurance company. To my dismay, she could not find record of a new letter. I asked them to call me when they send it out so that I don't have to worry about it any longer. So far ... no call. If I don't hear from them by tomorrow at noon, I will be calling them again. I am feeling very frustrated!
