  5. Thank you @kekebefree!! I hope you hear from your carrier soon. I know that's got to be the worst part of this, is the waiting. I have not seen the doctor yet.

Please let me know how it goes!! Good luck

  9. Hello. I have PCOS and was diagnosed when I was 20 something now I'll be 39 in one month. I have the insulin resistant PCOS. My GYN explains that I still have it small or large, but it's more difficult to ovulate when heavy and it's a precursor for me to diabetes. I am suppose to take metformin but it has an unpleasant effect on me and I can't take when working. I lost weight 8 yrs ago, got pregnant because my cycle started again and now I've gained and no cycle in months.
  10. Thanks Alison0927, enjoy your trip! Have a blast!!!

  12. Thank you both! I am just nervous if the if the unknown of the process and procedure.
  13. Have Humana PPO through my spouse. I received the verification of benefits and I read my coverage booklet and did NOT see a 6 mos. managed diet requirement. Has anyone experienced going through any additional requirements that was not listed such as 6 mos of supervised diet, sleep studies, etc. I am JUST starting and don't want ANY surprises by the insurance.
