EEEEK!

Ok, so if you have been following you know I am in my six month supervised diet for my lap-band.

When is my last appointment?

May 31st you say?

Why that's tomorrow!

OMG!!! My last appointment is tomorrow!!!!

Initiate mini freak out in 3...2...1...

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!




I can't believe it... Where has this last 6 months gone? It seems like just yesterday I was at my original consult!


I also had a little freak out last week. The hubs lost his job thursday. He was with the dealership for 5 years and apparently they wanted to bring in someone with more experience in his particular job at the time to try and make more money since they aren't doing too terribly well.

We have 2 kids under 5 so we have no savings... only expenses.

I kinda freaked out because I thought "there's no way we can afford this surgery now"

But then I did a happy dance and patted myself on the back for being so prepared... I put $3000 in my flexible spending account JUST for this. I'm good huh? Look at me planning ahead for once! HA!

Well.... Wish me luck!  :)

  1. Yah!!!! I did a happy dance just for you (it may have looked like a pee-pee dance, that is just because I have had 60 oz of water so far today).

    I love love love my flex account and mine allowed me to pre-submit my claims. So all my docs gave me estimates for what I would owe before I even did the surgery and my flex paid off of those.

    1. Lucky duck!!! For me, I am glad now that I had to do the 6 month diet. I think I'm more prepared now. I've had a lot of time to think and try to get my head in the game. Hopefully my surgery will be close to yours! We could be surgery buddies :)

    1. I'm a chronic optimist! lol I think this will work out for the best, That place was literally about to give him a damn heartattack! I'll let you know how it goes... Probably nothing special just a regular appointment but they should submit to insurance within the next couple of days!! :)
