God's support

Well, Today I go for my second appointment with Dr. Naaman’s office and then to the hospital for the pre-op work and pre-registration. I can’t believe that in 8 days i will undergo surgery. I know it is my choice but it is still kind of surrealistic.

This entire process for me has really gone quite smoothly and with each passing turn it has been made clear that God has played a real part in this and that I am on the right track. I often wondered if this was Gods plan or if I was moving forward with something that he did not support. Well, there are many reasons why I think this is where I need to be.

First, the level of support and encouragement I have received. Most people I have talked to or read their journals describe experiences with people who are against this. They tell of rejection, ridicule and lack of support. I have been truly blessed with the fact I have not experienced this. My whole family and all of my friends have expressed their support. Now if they don’t agree they did not tell me this. Even my acquaintances through work or play that i have talked have been positive. This has to be a God thing.

Second, the whole process of preparing for this surgery has gone so smoothly that it is almost unbelievable. After consulting with a bariatric physician I went to my PCP Dr. Gerard Gudarian. He was quite supportive too and with his support concerned. He ordered many tests and blood work to ensure that I am capable of first undergoing surgery and then recovering well. He never once put me down. It was a God thing.

Third, the insurance approval only taking 2 days!!! This insurance company has been difficult from the very beginning. They seem to use what ever stall tactic they can to not pay the claims that have been submitted. I have talked it out with many people (I might add at least their staff is receptive of all of this frustration with out getting upset themselves). They approved it so quick I couldn’t believe it. I was sure we were in for a battle. God working!

There have been signs all over the place that I am on the right track. It is such a blessing to have God be so supportive of my choice and it's also encouraging. So many signs not enouph time to type or read.

I can’t wait to be a looser.
