Where is all the people that post once in a while.

I have been lurking but have nothing to post really. I'm frustrated like everyone else by the demands of my insurance company. I'm doing the six months diet/exercise plan as they want but know that if I lose even ten pounds my BMI will fall below 40 and then they'll use that to deny me so I'm understandably a little down. I'm a naturally happy person and I'll get past this but right now I feel as close to depressed as I ever get. I try not to dwell on the denial, just get the six months in and then see what happens next. I believe that I will get the surgery somehow, it just may take longer than I'd like. Knowing all of you are out there and caring for each other makes me happy and seeing your successes makes me smile. I'm so glad for all of you on Medicare that are getting your dates. WooHoo!!! Have a great weekend Lana

like i said there are always weights you can put in your pocket. lol dont worry about it and who said that you have to really really try . lose the token two or three pound for them and then right before you go back to weigh the next time gain it back. that way they will know that you are trying but like you said it always comes back lol. If your like me it isnt hard to do. It will take me two weeks to lose two pounds but can put that and five more on in a matter of a couple of days without pigging out. I havent figured out what they really want with you doing a six month diet. Is it to say see even following rules she doesnt lose or is it to say see if she follows rules she CAN Lose so she doesnt need the surgery. What?????Jan

been awhile since I posted, I had surgery Dec.29,2004, I have lost 164 lbs. and down to a very slow loss now, I feel great now if I can ever get my surgery paid off, Hope everyone is doing well Stickbender
