Run... Smack... Block Wall! Can ya relate?

Now I know how those pre-op's feel waiting for their insurance approval! My insurance won't even let my PCP put in the referral for me to see a surgeon unless they have 3 letters from weight loss sources (diet's), that I've tried & failed with. I've got to hand it to my PCP; she has really tried everything to go around it but, insurance won't budge! So... I've got one letter already and in order to get the other two, last night, I picked up a month's supply of Meridia & Xenical - total cost $289.99 and of course... insurance won't pay for any of it! Wow.. you should see all the side affects on these two! But.. I'm willing to give them a try and if the insurance doesn't accept the letters, I'll probably take a loan out and go for a cash pay.
