The insurance challenge begins

Trying to weigh down the heavy.

You would think with all of the excersion I've experienced in my life, the insurance industry would understand that NO simply means an obsticle to overcome. Don't they appear to be the first to confess that WE the obese of America, have a difficult time accepting NO? So why all the fuss? Why the obstacles to my surgery?

Get this. Today my insurance company told me they have no list for dieticians or nutritionists. Nothing. Nada.

Sounds preventative to me! Which leads me to believe that staying FAT keeps the medical industry in business. Let's see we have

The heart: Cardiologist

The lungs: Pulminary

The stomach: Gastro

Blood chemistry: All that lab work.

and most of all THE MEDICATIONS! I'm on NINE.

More on this subject later.
