Cross UR Fingers 4 me

Ok my Kentucky People all my paper work is done and ready to be sent to Humana today so cross your fingers for me please. I was denied last year by BCBS of IL because I needed 12 months medical supervised attempt at weight loss. Well my husband changed jobs and now we have Humana PPO. I went for my Psyc Eval yesterday (which was kind of fun) so Dr. Shina's office is ready to submit my paper work. I am just for really FREAKING out and scared to death they are going to deny me. I am really worried because my BMI is only 39.2 and I am 99 pounds over weight. I am afraid they will tell me NO because I am not 100 pounds over weight. I have sleep apnea and a few other health problems that might help me to get approved but I am so afraid. So if you could cross your fingers and say a prayer for me. Thanks Sherri

Hi Sherri,,, Dont worry, Dr. Shina is my Doctor too and his staff will do everything in their power to make it happen. Its just the waiting and the phone call just gets to you,LOLLLL. but dont worry, you will be with us soon Susanne(grant co.area)

Thanks Susanne. I do believe in Dr. Shina and his staff its just that I have been denied once and that really is a very crushing blow. I at this point if Dr Shinas office I would be afraid to answer the phone for fear of being denied. I will hang in the though and your response has calmed me some. I just cant get these butterflies out of my tummy. One mintue I am so excited thinking of all the things I will do after surgery then the next minute I just know that I will be denied and crushed again. I WILL FIGHT THIS TIME IF I AM DENIED THOUGH. I will appeal and get a lawyer if I have to. I will not take no for an answer this time. Thanks Sherri

Sherri, I just wanted to let you know, Ive been going thru this for over a year now, and turned down by other doctors, just when I think it was going to happen and not wasting my time, it doesnt, they come up with some excuse not to do mine, but when I found Dr. Shina, I wasnt going to take no for a answer, I had to convince him, I was wanting this with my heart and soul.. I know the pain and the hurt, I had panic attacks from the answer NO, but I kept on going and determine this couldnt be what I had to face the rest of my life, the lonilness, people not including you on outings or asking you to attend, I dont know if it is from the embrassment or they was afraid they would be left out, by being seen in the presents of me. I just dont know, I know Im tired of just existing and not truely living my life. I dont know about you, but my own family doesnt even hug me anymore, and thats worse hurt anybody could ever go thru. I used to be bubbly and the social butterfly, now I dont go anywhere and I stay home and watch movies and talk on the computer. Like I said this isnt living, its exisiting from day to day, and you know theres more to life than your imagination, LOL, I hope to hear from you soon, Susanne
