Hi Everyone, I   am new to this site but have quickly become addicted.  I am going through the insurance process.  My initial submission was denied so now am waiting on the appeal.  I pray daily that this will go through.  My BMI is currently 50 and I have about 160 lbs to lose. Funny how I get nervous, just typing the numbers.  Anyway, looking forward to meeting some new friends who are going through the same thing.  I love all the posts and discussions on here.

Welcome to the family Amy.  Any specific issues we can address?  I had RNY sept 2099 and my tool is still working for me.  I live in MN, north of Duluth, which part of WI are you in?

Welcome Amy...Kathy actual;ly had her RNY in 2009, not 2099..lol. (just teasing kathy). Welcome to our group. There are great people here and it is a wonderful group to get postive support and encouragement from.

With some insurance companies, they will always say no the first time around. Trying to save money. I am hoping your appeal is settled to your favor! Keep us posted and feel free to post away with any questions, comments, needs, or whatever!

Welcome Amy! I just had surgery on May 13th 2011. I understand your concern with your insurance! I had a heck of a time getting approved (mostly because I was "healthy")! This group is awesome for any questions and concerns that you have! They sure helped me when I needed it most!

What's worth the PRIZE is ALWAYS worth the FIGHT!
