Won my battle with Insurance (Medicaid)
If anyone out there is having problems getting approved I am here to tell you never give up...keep fighting...go to court if you have to...its their job to turn you down...stand up for your rights....you deserve this surgery just like any other surgery to save your life and you are worth it.
Took me two and half years, repeated denials and an upcoming court case before they "reviewed and reconsidered" and approved me.
I am so happy I feel like this lol
Thank You Lord

I am so loving my job at Target and talking with all kinds and not being afraid to be amongst the masses.
So today I gave out 500 samples of Ball Park All Beef Hot dogs it was fun cooking all those dogs today and thankfully I was inside using my electric skillet in AC.

Tracey,
The tenacity you have shown in getting your surgery approved will hold you in good stead as you embark on this amazing journey because it that tenacity that will help you do what you need to do as you not only lose the weight, but then keep it off in the long run.
Congratulations on fighting the battle, now on to winning the war!
Hugs,
