Hello all...

Well it has been quite a while since I ventured onto AMOS. Since my whole world was shot down two years ago it has been really hard for me to deal with not being able to have GBS. I have blue cross and blue shield, but have applied for disability due to my weight problems (co-morbidities such as herniated L5, arthritis, my weight and asthma etc) I have been denied twice now and my advocate says now we go before a judge. Seeing how I can only get around by wheelchair I dread this... but it is something I have to do. If I dont get the disability I don't know what I am going to do. My husband bless his heart is so understanding through all of this.. I am lucky in that respect, but I just wonder if any of you had to file for disability before you got your surgery??? Any help you can give would be appreciate!!!! God bless you all, Marie

No, I didn't Marie... But I wanted to wish you lots of luck! Insurance companies are starting to become a pain when it comes to this surgery... In some ways I can understand though Good luck, Katie

Katie, thanks so much for replying.. I was beginning to think that no one would ever even speak up ...I had hoped that I would find some local GBS'ers that I could chat with in case I happen to get things moving... :0) Have a great day!! Marie
