Missy, Hang in there. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. If I were you I would also call the insurance company and ask them how often they will need for you to have documentation with your PCP. Some companies require every two weeks, some just once a month. Ask them straight out what else is required, that way in the three months you can get everything taken care of and they should not be able to deny you again. Go ahead and contact your surgeons office as well to let them know what you have to go through, that way maybe you can get on the schedule for the end of december and there wont be any further delays. Big Hugs, Lisa

Hi Missy, I had to do three months to. It was the best investment of time. I used the three months to work on changing my eating and I have had so few problems since surgery. I lost 50 pounds in those three months and another 70 or so since surgery. I am a new person already and I just had surgery in May. Since you do have to do it, I hope you are able to take advantage of the time and use it to be even more successful after surgery. Best of luck to you. Julie

I just wanted you to know what a beautiful and strong woman you are. I just read your profile and wow. You are amazing,Love,Cindy

When I go to her profile, it is blank except for a picture....can you help me get there? Thanks, Sandy

Sandy, Sorry you can not see the profile. I did not do anything special to it. Julie

Wow Cindy, what a kind thing to say. I have been lurking on the board for a while and I must say I really admire you and the support you give all of us even when you have things on your own plate. Thanks so much. Julie

I had to do a 6 month supervised. I just did the pcp every month and he put me on a diet and excercise program for home. .After i finished that I was approved right away. There was no way around it for me. Take Care Time will fly by Barb
