Holy Flipping Cow!!!!  I literally just got off the phone and was told that I have a surgery date of April 10th.  ME....yes, ME...April 10th.  Me, the girl who went through 4 appeals and a letter that said my appeals were exhausted.  Me, the girl with no hope...the girl with no chance on earth.  I fought and I won.   I know there are people out there that will read this like I read so many posts and think "I'm happy for her but I'm just so sick of everyone getting approved but me".  I am living proof that some people can beat the system at their own game and win.  I had to beat my employer over the head with a stick but it finally all worked out.  Please, all of you that are hopeless and feel that there is never going to be an end...there is.  Never give up...never give up hoping.   I am just so happy that I'm beyond emotion right now.  This will change my life...i'm certain of it.  I know it's going to require a TON of work on my part but at least I will know I have that tiny bit of extra help that I've always needed.  I will rock this Band like nobodys business because I know what it's taken me to get to this point.  APPROVAL.....it's the best 8 letter word in the world to me right now. I want to thank everyone on this board that has helped me, inspired me, motivated me to keep going and gave me invaluable advice.  PAUL IN DALLAS...you are such a sweet, sweet man and a wealth of good and positive information.  So many people owe their approvals to your advice.  I just want to thank you for the many informative posts and the time and care you show to all of us. Now, lest I start sounding like a Grammy winner..I will end this simply by saying this..... God is my light and my salvation.  With him, all things are possible.  It was he who carried me through this journey and to him I owe every bit of glory.  I'm sure he won't mind a bit that he's sharing it with Paul!!!   (lol) Take good care everyone.

Gina, What great news!!!!! I am so happy for you!  I am so glad you posted-I LOVE to read the messages from those who have fought and won! I do not think my journey6 will be as difficult as yours (I am just finishing a 3 month physicain supervised diet that my insurance asked for), but your story is uplifting for all of us!!!! Good luck and thank you for sharing your good news! (I haven't used this many exclamation points in one post-ever!  I am just so happy for you.) Lisa

Congratulations Gina!!  I am very happy for you.  I am currently waiting approvel after being denied once.  I think that the most emotional part of this journey is the insurance battle.  I feel comfort in the fact that you were able to fight and get approved.  Thank you for your post, Ellen
