Hello everyone! After 1 year of fighting with CIGNA , and after 25 years with this company having no choice of another carrier, we got United Health Care and they okayed my surgery after only 2 weeks from the time my doctor applied for it!!! My date is March 1st with Dr. McDaniel in Victoria, Texas. My sister-in-law had him do her surgery in June 2003 and she is at goal and looks and feels sooooooo wonderful. I'll be staying with her until I'm released to come back here and then my PCP will be working with Dr. McDaniel on monitoring me. I can hardly wait. I had truly lost all hope and was even suicidal for most of this past year, but I'm crying tears of joy now. I keep thinking of all the things I want to do when I get enough weight off, like go snow boarding! I'm almost 48 years old and have been morbidly obese for 38 years, so I'm looking to make up lost time. I'll be seeing some of you at the meetings soon! This is such a terrific group!
