Good Luck! Hope you hear soon. I'm still waiting on my appeal to go through.

Thank you Cindy, I need all the prayer I can get because I really need this for my health. Thank you and God bless you.

I had my exercise and pre-op class at Mecy on 04/240/07 and my visit with the surgeon on wednesday 05/02/07. Everything was good. The surgeon said he thought I was a perfect candidate because of my age and the comorbities that I have. Anyway, Melony the insurance lady at Mercy told me that she was going to submit everything to my insurance company that friday which was the 4th or this monday the 7th. So I am just playing the waiting game now. I am praying and keeping my finger crossed. Please all keep me in your prayers that I get an approval.
