fighting back

Hello all. In the past few weeks I have found my sanity by coming here and "talking" to you guys and seeing other people's stories. Well, after my third denial, last week I stopped being so upset and went straight to simply PISSED OFF. I had read Ronda's post and contacted her with my story about having a hard time with insurance approval. She asked if I wanted to speak with a reporter and figured what the hell, what is the worse that CIGNA could do to me? I am also writing the Gov., Senetor's, Congressman, Superintendent of Insurance and anyone else that I can possible think of to get somone to listen about CIGNA jerking us around. In the denial letter I got today it says that the inital goal is for me to lose 10% of my weight. This would leave me 360, I hardly call that a "healthy" weight. Anyway, I just want everyone that has emailed and replied to my posts that I am NOT and will NEVER give up. Thank you everyone.
