I have a date!
After a couple of years of research and a 3 year battle with insurance and the getting the courage up to try again, I am approved.
For those of you still in the approval process, I can tell you an organized attack is important. I asked my insurnace company what the rules where for approval and with my the help of my surgeon's office, I was approved first try this time. We addressed every issued that had in the listed. Not a guarentee for sure, but I know that made a big difference.
As part of my approval, I had to have a 6 month medically supervised weight loss plan. I took it seriously. I had the opportunity to attend sessions offered by my surgeon (not all insurance allow this to qualify - conflict of interest ?) I know that the knowledge I have gain, bad habit I am rid of (SODA!) and new good habits (eat slower, CHEW, water...) are good things that will help carry me through.
10 weeks from today! Thanks for all your support!
