Wish me luck....
Monday I am scheduling my surgery and filing for approval with my new insurance!!! I am soooo nervous and excited at the same time. I have waited so long and put so much into this that I'm afraid I'm going to be denied again. 
I'm so ready for my surgery! I don't think I could handle another denial.
Please keep me in your prayers.

Hello Barbara,
Are you sure this is what you really want? I don't think you've put enough thought and time into this whole process, you just don't sound like you know what you're about to get into! I think maybe you should be denied again just so you have more time to realize the full ramifications of your actions. You know your husband is probably afraid that you will leave him once you loose the weight, and for good reason I'm sure.
I hope I have helped you see the light.

Barbara,
Hun hang in there, if it is meant to be it will happen for you...~hug~ If you are denied again there is a reason even though you don't see it right now but one this is for sure, if you really want this then DON'T GIVE UP!! hang in there and work through this. From what I see and read it is so worth all the time and engery you put into this......
I was not denied from my Ins but my Dr knew I needed the silly 6 month weight loss program before he would even send anything in to the Ins because I would have been denied. I was so upset because I wanted it right then but really it has turned out the be the best thing for me. In my case I was so nervous and I might not have been ready at the time and we had a house fire just around the time I was going to have it done which would have been so much worse for me, so for me I can see why things did not work out right away and I am sure there could have been more reasons but sometimes we can not see them at the time and just have to believe that God knows what he is doing up there.....
Hang in there hun and don't give up if this is something YOU really want.....~hugs~

Hello Again!
In response to your question Donna, yes, I was joking! Barb is my cousin and I was just picking on her on "April Fool's day!" I have known Barb all of her life and I am her "guinea pig", she wanted to make sure that this surgery worked well for me,before she decided. I have been behind her 100% from the get go.
Thanx for caring enough to ask..Natt
Woohoo.....good for you, Barb!!! 
I go to my dr on wed(the 6th) and if all goes well, he send the paperwork out for approval. I have family health plus too although its through GHI. I called them on Fri and asked what they require before they will approve so that I could try and have it all with me on Wed. And they said they just have to have documentation that the dr thinks its medically necessary. Which I have. Do you have all that done yet?
Good luck...Ive been working on this and doing research for two years...and I'm sure that you, like me, can't wait to be a "LOSER".
Best of wishes...Betty-Jean
