Hello everyone. I've come to give you an update on myself. I sure hope all is well for every body and a healthy and smooth recovery to the newest Losers! Recently I have been spending an awful lot of time in the hospital with my father-n-law, for he had fallen ill and it's quite rapid. Last night, we received the news of pancreatic cancer and it was very horrible to hear. He is a good man. We are all ok. Thats the Bitter News. Now for a taste of the SWEET!     I'VE BEEN APPROVED TODAY!!!  WOOT WOOT!!! My emotions are flipping back and forth, but i'm doing good! MAKE ROOM CHICKIES AND BOY'S, CAUSE I'MA COMING!! ~Dawn~

Hi Dawn,

First off, I am sorry to hear about your father-in-law.  My mother-in-law passed away September of 2007 and I was extremely close to her.  You and your family are in my prayers.

Hurray!!!!!!!!!!!!! You've been approved  and from what I heard at the two meetings I attended you did not give up when they kept telling you no.   Your perseverance paid off.

Congrats,

Robin

Thank you so much for your prayers Robin. I too am very close to my father-in-law. Hooray for me! LOL  Yes, I fought the insurance over and over again, last denial was Nov of 2007. Made sure all the last of my tests were done BEFORE end of December, so the fools that denied me, paid for them. Switched insurance Jan 1, 2008. Approved this morning. Thank you :) My appointment with Dr. Roye is next Friday, January 18th. ~Dawn~

Dawn,

You were smart to get the test done from the old insurance company.  At least they paid for something!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
