I wish I could go

I had my surgery with Dr wright at vanderbilt, in Aug of 2004. I've lost about 230 lbs. anyway I'd love to come to a saturday lunch but I always have to work weekends, which stinks..Oh well I hope everyone else has a great time, sheila  / sheekalala

Shelia,   You have done awesome. 230 lbs. gone. I don't get to go to the luncheons either. I am 3 hrs. away. Oh well, I can't even get approved. lol maybe soon. Ellen

Ellen, please don't give up...I still have faith that you will get your approval any day now!

Ellen the insursnce co sure like to make us jump through the hoops hoping we will give up and go away but girl hang in there and show them you have the stuff to have this and make it work for you. I haven't had my surgery yet either and I have quit saying I hope to have surgery and saying my surgery is in Oct. Keep the faith. What gets me mad is they won't pay until we are so sick  that it is life threating if we don't have it. If there is any thing I can do to help just let me know, as a new group leader I like to use my new skills. A  LOT OF HUGS &  Your way Lee Lee

Awe.I know how dissaponting that can be. Don't give up though. I was denied the first time to. Just keep believing that it will happen, and it will. thankyou for the encouraging words and keep up the faith..
