I went today and did my P...

I feel like the "lotto" is the only way I'm going to have enough to pay for all the plastics I will need..... I'm not going to worry too much about this. If it's meant to happen the the Lord will provide a way for me. He lead me to having this surgery to save my life and he will lead me down the rest of my path. Thank you for the prayers....I still need all I can get Much Dee Dee

It will happen, DeeDee. Like you said, just appeal, appeal, appeal! You definitely deserve it. You are such an inspiration!

thanks - that is the wy I'm going to have to it approved it seems...... if not I'll have to save for a while before it can happen - one way or another it WILL happen...I'm determined!

Hey Dee I seen Wang yesturday and asked her if she seen you. She told me that the insurance was requesting additional things as well. Sounds like they are getting hip to her and trying to slow her down. The thing is that all the things you listed as far as approval requirements have always been the case. This list has not changed for as long as I remember. That is why I made sure I documented all my rashes. That is why I made sure that my doctors documented all the things perscribed to me. creams powders pills to assist with the interfrigo(sp?) I was planning on having PS since my actual wls surgery date. I didnt want to be told no so if I had a tiny sore I called and got something. I knew I couldnt pay for it. So I did it this way. But the requirements had not changed at all. Sounds like they are realizing that Wang is getting alot of approvals so they are trying to slow her down by actually enforcing these qualifications. NAT

well - I know there is the appeals process...and not being 18 months out and having been at the same weight for 6 months are my biggest concerns. I do like Dr. Wang - she was VERY professional and at least I know what I'm up against. She didn't say it wasn't impossible - but said for right now I may have to accept that I'll have to go through appeals. I haven't had any rashes or anything of the sort...so I don't know what I can do about that......(maybe I should hope for one...LOL) I DID give her your name as a refrence though.....she knew who you were right off the bat. Said you were a beautiful woman - and I HAD to agree. She did say they would do whatever would be necessary to work with me....so I'm hoping that over the next several months I'll be able to get something taken care of. It was great to be able to see some of her work in the pictures she showed me. She does beautiful work and the scar was so minimal. I'm not giving up.....even if i get approved with the appeals it will give me some time to get funds together to possibly have the breast augment at the same time - which would be ideal for me!!! Then once that is heald maybe I'll have funding put together to get the legs/arms done. It's all in God's hands....He'll work out what the best thing to happen will be!!! Thanks for the recommendation!!!! Much Dee Dee

Okay DeeDee let me talk to you like your 7 yrs old (wink) I called the doc and told them of the rashes and had them send me a prescription to the pharmacy. I filled it and made sure the doc documented these in my files. That way thats what the letters said. Hmmmm wonder if she reads between lines or not!!!!!!!! NAT And no I dont condone(sp?) what I am ultimetly hinting around to but hell its time to play hard ball. They do!!!!!!!
