An important Appointment 💚

Hello all!  I haven't done an update in a while, and I'm having an insomnia night, so I figure there's no better time than the present!  I haven't done an update because not toouch has happened.  But, all of that could change quite soon...possibly, depending on insurance.

If you've followed me for a while, you know thaty doctors have wanted to do bariatric surgery to speed the weight loss situation up so that I'm able to be in optimal shape to be able to have the MAJOR throat surgery I need to get rid of the tracheostomy.  That is the throat surgery where she will go in and reconstruct that small area of my trachea that keeps growing the "bad" tissue.  She will do this with other parts of my body.  Well, because when I was on the vent previously I had a heart attack (not really, but really), and kind of haven't been in the best overall shape, she would like me to be at a normal BMI, which is completely understandable.  And with having the bariatric surgery, this will just speed up the process.  

Fast forward to this week.  I finally have all of the required specialist of mine letters of approval for insurance, I have done the 6 months of meeting with a dietitian, I have done taking alternate medications to try and help (2 of them, one I had to give myself a shot every day).  And now Thursday I meet with the surgeon one more time.  He is so nice.  When I met with him the first time over video, he said something along the lines of "let's get you healthy and back to yourself again". Boy that couldn't be a more true statement.  So, now all that needs to be done I believe is it needs to be sent to insurance and we wait to hear for an approval 🙏🙏🙏🙏.  

Other than that, not much else at all is new.  I have been going to see Dr. Gray every 2 weeks to help with some clearance of mucus on the "upper" part of my T Tube.  With all ofy terrible allergies, it has proved to be not so nice to me 😢.  So we head there on Friday.  

So all of you prayer warriors out there, please pray that this goes through insurance for me and that I'm able to get the surgery that I need!  I would greatly appreciate it ❤️. Thank you!!!
