Melinda-Hang in there!! I have those days too!! I am without insurance at the present time-my husband lost his job of 15 years due to our local Steel Mill closing. I plan on pursuing this option (surgery) as soon as it's financially feasible. I am SO TIRED of being this way (MO). Our time will come!!

Hi Melinda, You have got to keep the faith because that is what the devil want us to do is give up, I also got turned down yesterday but I know a God who is able so we really need to pray for each other because we are in the same boat. I think God for the people that has had surgery and doing good and I sure hope they are praying for us want to bes. God Bless

Don't give up! I have Medicare and Medicaid and they are a pain about WLS. I have moved and have to start all over too. My last dr decided "there is nothing wrong with you and you dont need to be on meds". Great guy HA! Anyway, my point is, if we can all hang in so can you! If your family out there is not suportive... your AMOS family is!!!
