I'm so depressed......

Hi! Thanks for responding, you give me hope! I hope you have been doing well. Have you had the surgery yet? Would you mind sharing with me more personal information? I'd like to figure out how similar our cases are and if it may really work out. What was your weight for the past 5 years(height too)? Do you know if your BMI was over 40 for any of these years? Do you have any co-morbidities? Who was your doctor and where is he located? Was it only the 30 pound wight gain that made you eligible for the surgery? If you don't want to respond through this sight, my e-mail is [email protected]. Thanks! Clyda

I'm a teacher also with state Blue Cross?/Blue Shield. I know it gets depressing but keep fighting. Who is your PCP? Maybe he can let them know of the cir****tances and send them the rest of your history. My PCP and surgeon, Dr. Moore in Wake Forest and Dr. Mitchell in Pinehurst, both worked very hard at getting my approval and were successful the first time. Sometimes there are extenuating cir****tances and a knowledgeable doctor and office staff can help you get over those obstacles. My 2 are the BEST!! You're a neighbor- let me know if you have any questions- I live in Youngsville. Good luck
