Doing this 6 month weight management suxs!

So it was not that hard for them to approve you? That is what worries me.

mine eased on thru quickly.  The surgeon submitted my paperwrok on 5-27 and by 2pm on 5-28 I had approval and my surgery is 6/30.  I could have had it earlier, but I am teaching a summer course and it is over on 6/26.  Not sure who your surgeon is, but Humana told me my surgeon, Dr. Smith, always submits very well.GOOD LUCK>>>>>

Who is your Dr. if you dont mind me asking?

Dwayne Smith in Edgewood.  I am very impressed with him and with his office staff.

wow I am surprised I wasn't the only one messed up on the dr's. appts. It took me from one Jan. to the next Feb. to get everything said and done, you know everything happens for a reason. so maybe there was a reason you messed up, I am ok with the waiting, even though it got frustrating. I had my surgery Feb. 12th this year, and am loving every minute of it. just be patient and your time will come also.

I'm almost done with my 6 month.. and hoping that they approve it.. However it's been so hard for me... I keep this notion in the back of my head that surgery is in the future so if I can't eat it then I might as well eat it now!!! I've hardly lost any weight and really hope that they take me seriously... I've lost weight in the past even dropped 87lbs once on my own and put that back on.. it's just that this 6 month thing is killing me!!! I just know that my answer is the surgery and am frustrated jumping through all these hoops... I know they are necessary.. but I'm anxious to get it done..  good luck! Sandi

I feel the exact same way! This 6 months is harder then I thought it would be. I do not like playing the waiting game not to mention everyday that goes by my condition gets worse the weight is still there and I still have 4 months to go. GRRRRR....  People are starting to get onto to me becasue they think I am not trying to help myself.... But I am stuck and depressed and there is nothing I can do. I know this surgery is the answer to my problems but I can not make it happen right now and no one understands that.
