YES !! Aetna has my paper work

I just called and Aetna has my paper work and is in "Review" status. Also got a reference number.

New jeans....

Yesterday I went to eat lunch with my wife and had some time after that before my dentist appointment, so I went to Wal-Mart. Decided to try on some jeans, the ones I have are way too big. WOW I was able to to fit into Wranglers Relax Fit size 38, (was wearing 44's). Also got a pair of Wrangler Stretch Fit, but they are 40s.

Good news, I went to the dentist yesterday and no cavities. It has been a LONG TIME since my last visit. I mean YEARS.

Still have not heard from the insurance or doctor's office. I know it has only been one day but the itch is getting to me. I want to move on to the next step but I have to wait and I have no control. At least when I have stalls after surgery I can exercise more or differently. I asked on the forum about bugging the insurance company and got mixed answers. Some say start right now and call, and others waited a week before calling. I just want to know if they have the paper work yet. Maybe I will call today.

Still Waiting ...

I finally broke down and called Dr Davis's office yesterday and was told that the Weight Management Center was slow turning in the paper work and that they had just sent some papers to Dr Davis's office. And yes mine was there and they would process mine next and should be sent to insurance yesterday. It sounded too convenient.

Now if the papers were filed yesterday then I should hear something within the next two weeks. I hope.

My daughter is getting married this weekend and the rehearsal dinner is going to be at my favorite steak house. Not sure if I will be able hold back on my steak carvings. Then Saturday is the wedding and they are having BBQ, (hopefully chicken). So this weekend might not be good for my weight numbers. Have to wait and see.

Waiting is killing me

The wait after the 90 day diet and the approval is killing me. Tomorrow will be two weeks and I do not know if the doctor's office has even submitted to the insurance company.

I want to give up and drop the whole thing. The way I feel about the way my wife is treating me and not being able to do anything at work is driving me crazy. With my daughter's upcoming wedding and all the stress my wife is PUTTING on herself is STUPID. The money for this wedding, which we do not have, is really stressing me out. I have issues that I need to resolve but have NO desire to right now because of the way I am feeling. The worse part is I am not sure what is causing my attitude.

Psssst

Well yesterday I went to my doctor's office, (Dr Davis). I had made an appointment several weeks ago, because I was told to do it by the weight management group. I get to the doctor's office and they asked me why I was there and I did not have an appointment. I tried to explain but the lady said that is not how there office works. After I finish my 90 day diet, I am suppose to wait until they call me. They will get the paper work from the weight management group, file the insurance papers, then I get approved, and then I they will call me for an appointment. I had a question for the insurance lady so I got to talk to her. She is the best. She said I was not the only one that had been told to schedule an appointment. She also said she has told the weight management group not to be telling Dr Davis's patients when to make appointments. If it was not for her I might have been real mad.

So now I go home and wait. Not good at that. I have been some motivated and focused over the last 3+ months, not sure how long this will last.

Yes............

Been a while since I last posted something. Well here it goes.

Saturday was my last day on the 90 day doctor supervised diet. Boy, it when by fast. It was not that hard but was trying at times. There were times when I carved some types of foods, but passed on almost all. M&Ms were a challenge but I have not had any sweets/candy. I have had sugar free candies. The diet was suppose to help you eat healthier and I feel healthier. I can now wear two sizes smaller in pants and some shirts.

Yesterday was my last visit to my NUT and dietitian. I have lost 47 or 48 pounds since the beginning of my diet, (280.4). The group meeting, for me, was the most informative than the other two combined. There was a lot of info given out so I will have to read a lot of it on my own. The instructor was great, some are dry. I was told the paper work should be at Dr Davis's in two to three days. Which is great since I have an appointment with him next Monday. I am not sure what will happen Monday, a lady at the meeting had her meeting with him yesterday before the NUT/Dietitian session, and said the meeting with Dr Davis was uneventful.

Also, on the forum, I have been invited to a group get together at a Starbucks in Houston Next Monday. Not sure if I will go. I know, what is the problem? No social interaction issues again. I can come up with a least a 1000 excuses. Wife my not be going with me to the doctor's appointment so that means I will be alone. No comfort zone. Someone kick my ass. Right now I am planning on going. Need to keep my feet warm, until then.
