Good Luck to you Nicky...please keep us updated on what you find out!! I'll be keeping my fingers, toes and eyes crossed for you!!

Who is your PCP? There are proven facts that anyone 100 lbs overweight can not truly lose the weight and keep it off. Yes, there are some that can but the chances are very slim. Try someone at West Wichita Family Physicians. Email me at [email protected] and let me know who you see. I will try to find out the name of another physician I know that does. I just can't remember her name. However, I know that alot of the physicians at WWFP will support you if you are a patient there. You may need to establish a physician/patient relationship but that can be done. Email me... K D [email protected]

Mary, thank you very much. Actually, after I sent this message, I did go that link of Insurers and saw the reponses their. Take care:-)

Hello All, I just want to know if anyone has Conventry Insurance and if so, what was your experience when wls approval/denial?

Yes, Dr Dort is wonderful. I have not had WLS yet, but I have had to have some other items done. Dr Dort informed me that for the medical condition I have there are only two types of surgery that will take care of it. The first one I am too heavy and would only cause it to fail. The second one is WLS. It will get rid of my problem. He has never been pushy or jumped into anything either. He is very kind, caring and patient. He took care of my husband when he was a patient from an accident and he was the same way then. I highly recommend him. He is great! As for Solutions for Life. There is a reason that they put you through the program they do. Yes, it does cost money. One of the reasons is this.. if you are willing to put up the money and go through the progess it takes, then they feel you are serious about the surgery. It is not a simple surgery like have a knee replacement or having a gall bladder removed. It is a life changing event. If you are not willing to put up the money or the time to invest in getting from A to Z, then you really aren't willing to do the life changes it takes. I am not defending them... but I have seen several people go through this surgery without the classes and all the post op classes as well... and those people were never really ready for what is going to take place. They end up gaining weight back and they put their lives at risk. I know Jeanee and she has had some problems with the whole process and I understand her frustrations. Keep your chin up girl... WE are going to get there!!! Tammy ~ How far out are you and how are you doing?
