Savanna mine said it was denied because they need co-morbid conditions so fingers crossed we both get this taken care of. Im also dieting along with the dietitian stuff they have us doing. I have lost 6lbs so far. Congrats on the 2lbs. 

i have diebetes, high blood pressure, problems with my knees (had surgery previously, but didn't help at all), i also have back pains (i believe due to large breast).

now i need to quit smoking, my pcp called me in a scrip for chantix today. i hear it works. ya cant have the surgery if ya smoke. so thats my next hurdle to jump.

i haven't weighed in to see if i have lost anything. my scale is different from the doctors anyway.

i hope that you both get approved soon. do either of you have any other co-morbid conditions? 

i have diabetes and problems with back and knees. i also have narcolepsy which would be better if i didnt weigh so much. and i quit smoking oct 19th with the help of chantix its amazing i quit taking it about 2 weeks after i quit i feel better and saving money lol.... chantix is wonderful although it makes you have crazy dreams. i was having dreams about smoking and i thought i really had smoked i would wake up so mad at myself and finally realized it was a dream. but yea it was super easy to quit and i've smoked 11 years so... when i found out i had to quit i cried cause no matter who came in and out my life that was the one friend i knew would always be there... my ciggarettes lol my mom and dad died 4 months apart and they were there lol it sounds so stupid but i loved my cigs...  when i see people every now and then i want to attack them and take their cig lol so im not saying its always hard but theres just those few times that i want one or its just simply habit. but along with chantix its really easy considering the cir****tances lol..... good luck on quitting. oh and shyest i just got the lesson thats fully about excersing emailed to me. it didnt say anything about food this time i think >.> i think its the same that your on though 5-6

I have no health problems as of right now however I have been experiencing shortness of breath, neck pains, and back pains I also have extreme migraines but, not sure what causes that. I use to smoke as well. I quit 6 years ago and there are times where I STILL would like a cig but, could never see myself going back to them. I know we all are going to get what we want in the end. Sending lots of quit smoking vibes your way!! Night ladies!

 i am really beginning to wonder if this will even happen.  it seems like a lot of smoke and mirrors.  from the appt i had on 10/29...to now...my poss. surgery dates have been moved from mid december to at least march.  i am on the roll for the next nutrition class in january...and that moves stuff nine weeks from then.  devin said resubmitting for medicaid approval will not be a problem.  but it all seems so touch and go.  am i the only one feeling this way?  i haven't gotten a letter yet.  but regardless...it won't be before march 1...for the surgery.  and this other lady saying that they don't do the surgery anymore.   i'm getting a little worried.  i was so excited about it and now it just seems like some bizarre pipe dream.    i need some kind of affirmation...otherwise...i'm losing hope...quickly.

plz don't get discouraged, we are all hitting our own road blocks. but it will all be worth it in the end for all of us. i've been battling wight for this long, what's a couple more months? 
 

 Yeah we all will have differnt road blocks to cross...some bigger then others.........but in the end we will all be over then and it will be worth the wait..GOOD LUCK GIRLS  Just cross your fingers and say a lil prayer that everything will get cleared up and u will be across another block!!
