Not happy
I won't be joining the loser's bench any time soon. Even though my screwed up back is considered a co-morbidity factor by federal guidelines, Aetna doesn't consider it one, so my BMI would have to be over 40 before they'd cover the surgery. It had been 41, but I'd been working on losing weight to prepare for the surgery, but since I lost it on my own and not on a doctor supervised diet, they say it doesn't count. &^%#$&^%*(&()!!!!!
NOT HAPPY! KJL

I don't want it to go back up, it was too hard to lose it. I've been stuck between 225 & 230 for the last 2 months and it doesn't seem to want to go any lower. I'm afraid it will do like it always has in the past and start creeping up again. While that would then qualify me for the surgery, it's a high price to pay because by the time I hit 250 my back and right leg will be screaming and I'll be having trouble sleeping (always felt like I was choking when I lie down). Ideally I need to get to 120, so I've got a long way to go. KJL
