Hello Oregon Boarders, I haven't posted in a while because I've had problems posting with my pc. I'm updating w/ my sister's computer now. I thank everyone for their support & wanted to let you know I've been cleared for surgery & am waiting for a date. I've been undergoing this journey for a long while now, so I'm very excited to get to the next step after spending a long time in the actual weightloss process. I will update this board as soon as I get any more info. I also have a profile on OH under "starflower". Thanx again 4 the support!!!
In response to a couple of the posts and the original post. I have Pacificare and was denied as well initially. I was reffered to ObesityLaw.com. Kelly and Walter are wonderful. They helped me appeal and I got approved in less than a year and after my approval had my surgery date in less than 2 months. It was worth the money. Any questions please feel free to ask.
