Hello Everyone

I have been stopping in from time to time but there is never a roll call anymore so I usually don't post. I am not sure if I had updated on where I was with my lapband surgery or not. My insurance company is still giving me a hard time I did do over 6 months of a dr supervised diet but because of scheduling one month I was technically into the next month by the time my appt rolled around so now they are saying that it is not consecutive...ugh. They are being a real pain, but I am not giving up until I get them to pay for my surgery So, if this is the only road block that they have up their sleeve then I will be having surgery in May since I will have my 6 consecutive months then. I am about to send off a check for $2,115 to my surgeon and that will complete my program fee. It is hard to send off that much money when I could use it for a ton of things around here!!! We are in the process of trying to buy the house that we are living in so that is exciting!!! I guess that is all that is going on with me at this time. I hope you are all doing great!!! Robyn

Hi Robyn, Hopefully there will be no more roadblocks and delays with your surgery. Congrats on buying your house, that's great! This for your insurance company Linda

Thanks for zapping them Linda..lol. I am hoping there are no more road blocks myself. At least I have lost 10 lbs while I am waiting to have the surgery. I am sure that can't hurt and I have begun a whole new way of eating. I was happy to read your post about NO cancer, I had been praying for you. Robyn
