what a let down

Out of nowhere today I received a phone call that my insurance company denied to cover my surgery. Yes, the day before! Something that I planned for 2 months. Something that I prepared for, friends and family took off work. Things were arranged to accommodate everything. So you can imagine my disappointment and frustration. I am still, hours later.. shocked! I actually don't think it's really sunk in yet. The good news is that it is being appealed and I will most likely have it next week. But it is not definite and I am going to have to prepare all over again. No food, no drinking, water over load! Ugh I just so wanted to this to be over already. I mean I'm not giving up. I'm not putting all my hope into this but people seem to not understand how much I need a physical restriction. I am 27 and I have been on a diet since I was 13. I don't want to be 35, 40, 45 years old still struggling with keeping my weight off. I'm sick of trying so hard to lose it.. only to gain it back. Anyway, my plan is to stay positive and let things fall where they fall. I am going to try to appeal and find out why they really denied it. If I have the chance to do it, I will. If it never comes, I will just have to deal with it.
