This Surgery Is All I Think About
I'm the type of person that when I get the idea to do something ; I want it done right away ; all I could think about is how much I would enjoy life after surgery & regain confidence in my self ; I can't wait to feel good and energized @ conquer the world ; I know GOD brought me into this world to become great & I feel that with the extra weight stops me from being me / I just spoke to my surgeon and we are almost prepared to send everything off I pray that my approval is quick and easy Sent from my iPhone using VST

Prayer Please
id like to ask for prayer from you all that understands where i come from i pray that the holy spirit moves through the person wich whom receives my paper work in that office in the insurance place and approves me & God pours his grace & favor over this entire surgery and process to get me there .. i feel that god will glorify him self through this but ofcouse something that i am working on as a new believer is doubt & i woould never want to doubt god well i pray all you new comers also are able to get it done with grace and favor whatever your finacial situation is

Super Nervous My Insurance Wont Approve Me :(
the requirements are minimal if you have a bmi over 40 you dont need to have any co morbitidies but for bmi over 35 you need to have sleep apnea or blood pressure or diabetes for them to consider coverage ive heard that they are pretty good about approving & very quick to approve keep in high hopes & faith whats your bmi ?

Super Nervous My Insurance Wont Approve Me :(
hello everyone at this point im a bit nervous i have united healthcare & i dont think my "co morbitaties" are serious enough to get approved i have been obese most of my childhood & adulthood & im really counting on this to make a very serious commitment to lead a healthier life style i could never drop below 20lbs & i wanted to know what other financing options there are in case of a non approval my bmi is 37.9 and i have ild sleep apnea and high colest.
