2nd Insurance Appeal turned in - Please Pray for Them to Accept Me
![](http://images.obesityhelp.com/_shared/images/smiley/msn/angel.gif)
Well, it's done! I had my doctor fax in 71 pages of documentation on Thursday after my last physican documented 6 mo. weigh-in for my 2nd insurance appeal. I'm feeling fairly confident that they will approve me this time. Sent insurance everything - plus more that I could think of, facts, figures, documentation, chart notes, every month weigh-ins with doctor, weekly weigh in-s with Weigh****chers, etc. Reading all the insurance crazy requirements - I'm pretty sure I even over met them - I hope they are burried in all those pages I had faxed to them. I even called them afterwords to make sure it was all received! They said yes and that I should have my answer within 15 business days - sooner I hope.
I SINCERELY WANT TO THANK EVERYONE FOR THEIR SUPPORT AND SUGGESTIONS FOR WHAT I SHOULD PUT IN AN APPEAL. Everyone has been so kind and caring. Your support, suggestions, and caring has been so important to me during this long process and I don't know how anyone could get through all this red tape without your support and knowledge.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!!
And.....lastly, if you could please say a little prayer for me that insurance will approve.............
God Bless,

Yep, 71 pages of stuff - I just hope I didn't give them too much information this time. Guess part of me was so angry at my past denials that I wanted to bury them under papers! Shame on me - ha ha ha. Now that I have them in I'm a nervous wreck. My insomnia and restless leg syndrome has come back with a vegence. I just want to get this all over and done with - it's been so long - just like it has for you. You've lost so much weight and done so well on your own - I'm so proud of you! You must be getting really close to your six months of dieting - I thought you were already there??? I sure hope you can get all your paperwork turned in soon too and that both of us will be joining that happy bench of WLS biggest loosers.
Believe me when I get word - I will let the whole world know - I just hope my news is positive! Don't know if I could bear being turned down again.

Thank you for the prayers and hopefully I will get my surgery date soon. Have to admit I'm not looking forward to that 10 days of liquid pre-surgery diet.

Hey Girly! I am still sending you approval vibes! I had a Weight Loss Supervised Diet with my obgyn for 11 months and we turned in that to try for an early approval; I was still doing my “new 6 month PCP Diet" and that’s what is on my signature. But as of April 1st 2009 BCBS of MI waived the 6 month diet for bmi’s over 50. So I am really now through with my 6 months. WooHoo. I am stoked! Now I am thinking about you!
