my journey is over*thank you all for your prayers*

Well, this will be my last post for awile (maybe). I found out today that my sugeon's have decided NOT to do my surgery. Unfortunately, they did not enlighten me to this fact when they made the decision, or I would have had time to find another surgeon. Now I am out of time. Although I was approved by Cigna within 24 hours, on 12/12. My ins expires the 31st. And my new ins, well my company didn't pick up the rider to cover the surgery. So, I sit here, crying my eyes out. I am sure all of you can understand, I was so looking foward to getting out of pain, and being able to breath when i go up a flight of stairs. Now that this is not going to happen for me. At least not now. I feel this is criminal what the surgeons did to me. They have put me in an impossible postion with no options. I have called all the surgeons in the area today, even some 2 hours away. And either they dont have room on their schedule. Or they said there isnt enough time for them to re-evaluated me pychologially, and re-submit to cigna to get another approval. And Cigna said it would have to be resubmitted. So I am out of options. Now I have to continue to pray for comfort. I prayed very hard up till today for God to help me, and Speak to my Dr's and get them to get going on getting me a date. Before that, I prayed to God to get my ins co. to approve me. Now I must have faith (because it is being tested) that God when he spoke to my surgeons, told them not to do this because He has a reason. I must pray VERY hard for God to give me the comfort now that I seek. I have to believe this is His will. And although this is not going to happen for me. No one should have to go thru what I have. The expense of all the testing, and preop visits to specialist to get the various approvals. Not to mention the emotional upheaval, if they had already decided not to do the surgery. For this reason, I am going to continue to explore the possiblity of filing a lawsuit against the surgeons and WLC for their deception that prevent me from finding me another surgeon so that my ins company would cover it. I dont have $22,000 to pay out of pocket. So I will also continue to pray that God leads me to another way to get healthy. To find relief from the constant pain I am in being Super Morbidly Obeast. May God Bless you all in your journey. Thank you for listening and if you can keep me in your prayers. Maureen M. Rath

Dear Maureen, I am so sorry to hear about your devastating news today. I will be praying for you. Kathy

thank you

It certainly does seem like the surgeon's office you were dealing with was not fair and upfront with you. I am so sorry for this disappointment. I pray that you will be upheld in your faith and that as you lean on the Lord He will make a way for you.

Maureen, My heart goes out to you - I am so sorry about this upsetting news! I will keep you in my prayers. Please keep us posted as to what is going on and if this situation can be corrected in anyway. Love ya! God Bless, Lynda Phil. 4:8

Hi My name is Yvette. I haven't posted on the Christianity board much as I usually post on BAF. But after reading your post, maybe the Lord had me come to this board today for a reason. Please don't give up. If you are posting on the Christianity board, I'm assuming that you are a Christian. As such, God has given each one of us that He has saved a measure of faith. What God has for you, it is for you and no one else. Please begin to thank God for His blessings and this tool as if you already have this victory. Your journey is not over. It may be delayed, but there could be a reason that God allowed it to be delayed. I will be praying for you. Don't give up! Heiress

We trust You, Lord, that your timing in all things is perfect. Please give Maureen Your peace and assurance that You will be with her through all her trials and tribulations. Amen. Maureen, I will continue to pray for you. Hang in there. Love, Peg
