The word I used was "dedicate", not "concentrate".

Thank you everyone for your positive and informative responses. My life is better for having heard your opinions. And thank you for working hard so I don't have to. Much appreciated!

Topic: RE: Anyone file for/receive SSDI for co-morbidities?

you cant find the info because the answer is NO, I agree with the other poster, we all started with the same issues, we did it fine, with little time off  work and certainly did not have to leach the system to get time off and paid for that we ALL  pay for one way or another, I this some  of us are taking offense that we would be supporting you while you figure out your way around your surgery! YOu are working a job now and doing ok, I am sure you will do fine after your surgery, the recovery is not usually more that a few weeks,,,,, use medical time, vacation days, personal days, don't have the public pay for your free time off!!!!

I doubt that those comorbidities qualify....otherwise we'd all qualify.  In our obese society, who'd work to pay the taxes to  support all of us?

Not to sound harsh but you do realize that all federal programs are supported by me, you and other tax paying people? Why can't you work throughout your journey like thousands of others do instead of looking for a handout? I don't pay taxes so you can stay home and "concentrate" on losing wt.

Topic: RE: Insurance question
I called yesterday and they told me the same. The lady I talked to said 15 business days. My surgeon office sent over my stuff they requested on the 18 the of Oct. This waiting is driving me crazy. But maybe since we having got denied yet it's a good sign. Hope we both here real soon. I'll keep you posted. Thanks

Topic: RE: Insurance question

Just wanted to let you know that the Customer Service rep at Aetna told me they have 15 calendar days from the date they received ALL of the information. If your surgeon turns in your paperwork and then a week later Aetna asks for additional info, they then have 15 calendar days from the date they upload the info into your file (there could be a delay from when they receive to when they upload). Ugh!!!

If it isn't stated in your insurance policy,the insurance can't require it. I would all and speak to a supervisor and ask them politely to tell you exactly what page paragraph ans item that requires a Pcp letter.

If they can't Tell you exactly where to find it ,I would demand that I. Be approved right that. Minute. .
If it is a surgeon requirement that is a different matter. It has to. Be in clear understandable writing in your policy or they can't insist on it.

Topic: RE: Examples of "organized weight loss program"?

Some insurance companies allow WW, but I don't beleive myfitnesspal will work.  They will also take a certified nutrionist or your family doctor if you see they once a month for six months.
