The waiting game begins!

Had my EGD last week and my last pre-requisite appointment this morning. Now it’s time for the dreaded wait for insurance to authorize… I am not good at being patient so prayers and happy thoughts are much appreciated!

I’ll definitely keep my fingers crossed. I’m struggling with waiting, too. Has your surgeon given you any guesstimate on when surgery might take place once it’s approved?

It’s up to Gods good humor on that one. It could be September/October. Just hoping insurance doesn’t take the 6 weeks they say it could

Waiting is no fun for sure. Find something to distract you. A good book, learn a new dance step like a waltz, salsa, or tango, make a new friend, check out audio books from the library

I’m trying out new recipes for post op while I wait. Just finished stewing down some sad looking fresh blueberries with Monkfruit sweetener. Once cooled off and puréed, I’m going to try stirring it into yogurt. Next up is a creamy coconut milk lentil recipe.

Wow, that lentil dish sounds great, and what a good idea about the blueberries. Please share anything tasty like your lentil recipe under the "Recipes" section to make them easy to find. Thank you in advance. I am so excited for you and all of your prep steps!
