Denied...battle over

I need to quit whining!! It is just craziness with insurance companies. I mean, we pay them all that money and they just want to jack us around! I bet if there was a nationwide boycott, they'd change their minds real fast! The sad thing, is they've got us right where they want us. And, btw, baby I am cutting fringes all over the place. My wonderful hubby is fronting me some of his car downpayment money to start a savings for me and the rest is for me to save. He's the best. Good luck with your battles. I think about you down there in sunny FLA all the time! Call when you run back up to the Buckeye State! You know where to find me.... roamin' the halls of OSU!! Val

Oh Val...I am so sorry to hear that. You are such a positive person, so helpful to everyone else on here. I am sure that something else will come along to help you thru this struggle. You have sent out so much positive karma and love, I am sure the universe will send it back to ya. Take care!

Thanks sweetie! You know I just feel that what we give away comes back 10 fold. I have already gotten so many friends from OH and OSU that if I never get a chance to do reconstructive surgery it won't matter at all because my heart is just so full from the love and friendship I've found! Val

Val, So sorry to hear that! Well, who knows, maybe you guys will have a change of insurance companies, or something like that - ? Either that, or you are just gonna have to hit the lottery! I am very hopeful that you will be able to achieve this goal. By the way, DH is still seriously looking at WLS. I have come to terms with it and of course will support him all the way. Still a little scared, though. Have to add - both you and Earl really are an inspiration to me. I hope I can be as successful as you in the weight loss effort, and more than that, I hope to have your great attitude. Kitty B. RNY 12/13/04 251 / now 184 / goal 145

Kitty B. You are doing awesome!!! Look!! You are 39 pounds to goal!! How wonderful is that??? I am proud of ya! If there's anything we can do to help out you just let me know. I hope DH finds his answers. Just being a good support person is the best thing you can do, and I am sure you know all about that! Thanks so much for the kind words. I get so much support and love from you guys! I can't tell you all how much that means to me! Val
