Happy Birthday to me!!! NOT!!! Thanks BCBSIL!

wow, what a way to spend my Birthday..... I got a call at work from the Surgeon's office saying that I was denied!  Reasons being:  lack of 6 month weight loss program....which is ok since I am in my 4 th month of WW's...but I didn't have a 5 year history of being moridly obese.   My doctor just had written on his perscription pad that in 2002 she weighed 212lbs and was depressed and had anxiety because of her weight. I requested copies of my medical files for the last 5 years so those will be coming and I'm hoping to find something in there, also I am still continuing with WW's and I will get that 6 month dietary program. I was just shocked!!!  I started crying and I was embarrassed.  Here the employees had gotten me a very nice bday card & chocolate & banana cream pies and I'm sitting there with my eyes all red and swollen.  I didn't have the stomach to eat anything..... I've just had a very bad week!  I went to the back surgeon and they found prominent lymph nodes in my neck on the MRI so now I have to go have a CT scan...my back and neck are both  messed up...my boss quit after 15 years with the company...  My best friend planned dinner tonite at Chevy's   (to whom she invited 3 other people) and I called and cancelled because I just feel & look awful from being upset... Anyway, I think I will take a nap 7 hopefully when I get up my husband will be home from work.  By the way he is SO great.  He says "honey, we are nOT giving up!  Don't you give up!!!  I just don't know if I have it in me..... thanks for listening to my pity party...I guess it's my party and I can cry if I want too.right?     Jeni

My dear little SP: I am so sorry that this happened to you today on your special day. I feel even worse knowing that I somehow missed your birthday--bad me for sure! All I know for sure Jeni is that I do not want you to even remotely think about not persuing wls. IT will come to fruition. Just ask plenty of people here who have been in your shoes. As hard as it is right now, I know for sure that you will have wls. Maybe not as quick as you hoped, but you will. Please get that CT scan done pronto too. Enlarged lymph node is nothing to mess around with girl! I your hubby can cheer you up tonight....I do know that this is going to be your year Jeni.  A very heart felt HAPPY BIRTHDAY and it's your party and you can cry if you want!!!   your SP PS...you should be receiving a package soon, it was mailed 2 days ago.

Jeni..that is just awful!! I am so hoping your day got better! Happy almost belated birthday!!!
