DENIED!! =(
I just found out that I was denied... 
I dont understand... I am so upset.... talk about rollercoaster of emotions... My surgeons office called me to tell me that because I was pregnant when I had my weigh in's they dont consider that good enough... But I was told that an appeal was already in progress because it violates my bill of rights because they want a 6 month supervised diet from an MD, and it doesnt state that being pregnant voids out the 6 month supervision, if that makes sense... they told me I should know in a week and I should continue to get weighed in every month which tells me that they are expecting the claim to be denied again... I am so upset... If that's the case and they need another 6 months supervised, it'll be Sept before I have a new letter....

Hi Gia:
I am so sorry you were denied. 
I understand completely how you feel because last month I was in your position. I was totally pissed off. I also had a date in February which was cancelled.
My surgery was scheduled for 3/17 and without our knowing, our insurance company was changed on 3/1. When I found out, the new insurance company denied my surgery on 3/14 (3 days before my surgery) because I needed 3 more months of a supervised program. Now I am shooting for the end of June or first of July.
But as Deb said, things happen for a reason. Don't let them get you down. Keep fighting!!!! It will happen when it is right for you. 
It does sound like your doctor is helping you fight this. Do not give up ever if this is what you really want.
I will keep you in my prayers. 
If you want to chat or vent, e-mail me. I am a very good listener.
Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

Gia,
I'm soooo sorry. {{{hug}}} I was there only a few short weeks ago. My prior ins denied me 2x stating they wanted me to do the 6 month diet as well. Well, I fixed them, I changed ins companies! 
My new ins approved me within a week of filing!
My advise to you is speak to your ins company directly to found out they expect from you. Would they consider any of your weigh ins while pregnant?
I'm assuming you have had your baby . I find if I'm that upset a hug from my children can be the best remedy for the blues. So pick up your little one and snuggle him or her close.
Your in my prayers and you can email me if you need someone to talk or vent to.
Take care,
Barb
