Room for another?
After 5 months and 3 appeals with my health insurance company finally approved my request to consult with a bariatric surgeon! I love what the letter says:
"As reviewed and completed by a board certified bariatric surgeon the requested medical care is MEDICALLY necessasry as you do meet our guidlines."
Woooo hooooo!
Room for another lightweight? I can't wait to hit the losers bench!

DS on Aug 9, 2007 with Dr. Hazem Elariny
After the consult I have to get a psych clearance and a nutrition consult. My Dr. doesn't do other testing unless you have a respiratory or cardiac history, which I don't.
IMy guess is surgery just after the 1st of the year!
