So I called the insurance Co....
...and I was talking to my representive and she said they have not recieved any letter from the surgeon and my profile says tehy sent the letter out on 3-3-06 and she said the only way they will aprove the surgery is if I have diabetes or high blood pressure or something very serious that is proven to be caused by my weight. Well right now I SEEM to be healthy but I have all teh complication that a 24 year old extremly obesed person should have and Dr. Giovonni says I am borederline high cholesteral and I will 99% develope diabetes. So why not nip it in the butt right now why wait till I have all the complications. It makes noe sense to me so most likely even though I am a perfect canadate I wont get approved. Well all I can do is wait right. I go monday formy endoscopy and then the 25th to do a weigh in with Judy Carty. The good thing is I have a;ready lost 2 lbs but still chewing gum like theres no tomorrow. My tenative surgery date is May 25th so I hope the insurance Co. approves it. What makes me laugh is insurance Co. will pay for Drug and Alchol rehabs for 30 or more days but wont help some one to save there lives because of something they cant control. and I say this cause I know first hand my husband get into drinking nad drugs when he was young and then when he was like 20 or so he change dhis life around and went to college but a few years ago he relapsed and our insurance company not only paye dfor the detox but payed fro him to stay in a rehab fro 30 days. Dont get me wronge I am thankful and he is doing GREAT!! but he made the choice to get high and i didnt choose to be over weight. well I am done venting for the day I loove you all soo much for all the support and my thoughts and prays are woth you all always . Thank you April
