    Question fot the Ladies

    I think I'm in the minority here... I like it au naturel, & not afraid to use my hands to hold back a few strays here & there. Better than stubble burn on my face... ;} Only requirement...gotta be clean--& air dried!! No lint or schmegma, please!! Haha ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 347*294/284/135 (*347HW/294SSW) | (twitter) @Mwrarr | mwrarr.wordpress.com
  3. I knew that...but apparently my coordinator thought it was ok to ignore it...? Ugh. The hardest part for me to understand is how they saw that I only had one prior years med records in my file & didnt question it. Just filed without even caring. Ugh. I'm an insurance agent myself & i know all about these companies & what they'll do to deny you. A tiny little mistake like this is just completely unprofessional. I'm so just smh... Thank you ladies, so much. I appreciate your good vibes more than I can express. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 347*294/284/135 (*347HW/294SSW) | (twitter) @Mwrarr | mwrarr.wordpress.com
  4. Thank you :} I *really* needed to hear that... I've been so much mess internally over this that I didn't even tell my BF until last night. I figured I'd better let him in on it, considering 12/26 is 10 days away & I won't be having surgery after all (I assume...I don't think they'd still do it that quickly even if it was approved tomorrow) onward & upwards I suppose... ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 347*294/284/135 (*347HW/294SSW) | (twitter) @Mwrarr | mwrarr.wordpress.com
  5. So... I finally heard & it's not great news. I was denied bc my coordinator jumped the gun & submitted with missing pieces of information. They obviously didn't read the bulletin from Aetna which specifically states that they req 2 consecutive years wts. They only had medical records from 2009, which means I've been lied to &/or given misleading information multiple times by Aetna & my surgeons coordinator & her assistant. Last wk I had to re-request my records for my dr office (from old dr), which makes me crazy bc why did no1 realize that only having 2009 records was odd?!?? I switched drs a year ago. Im uber frustrated. So now, we wait for the records...& hope it's not too late for the appeal...bc I've lost my trust in my coordinator at this point. Guess yet ANOTHER date is gonna pass that I am not being sleeved on...this makes 3. Maybe January? I'm not even daring to imagine anymore. It doesn't feel real anymore... Very sad. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 347*294/284/135 (*347HW/294SSW) | (twitter) @Mwrarr | mwrarr.wordpress.com

    5 Confessions (Join In)

    I have a new confession... I confess that I am getting really freakin annoyed with Aetna, as it's been 3-1/2 wks since my surgeon submitted. They said all was in order & now they are nit picking. So I'm just about ready to throw my hands in the air & say screw it, go do that veggie juice fast from the Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead, guy's documentary. Ugh. I was hoping initially to be sleeved by October, now I'm not even sure it will be before next summer. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 347*294/284/135 (*347HW/294SSW) | (twitter) @Mwrarr | mwrarr.wordpress.com
  11. Thanks darlin :} that means a lot to me. Fingers crossed for you, too! I'm going to call back tomorrow & see what's going on. This is getting a little nuts. I've been waiting & working & waiting some more since last January. I'm so ready! ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 347*294/284/135 (*347HW/294SSW) | (twitter) @Mwrarr | mwrarr.wordpress.com
  12. I'm still waiting. :\ Today is 3 weeks since submission...I'm starting to lose hope. The coordinator called Tuesday & told me that they are missing wt info from 2011, but have 2010, 2009...etc. That's bc I didn't go to the dr in 2011. 1st off, I wasn't sick & 2nd, I didn't have ins for an annual. So, idk...I may get penalized for being too healthy AND uninsured. She didn't seem worried at all, but I've seen a lot of ppl here with issues w/Aetna. I guess we'll see. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 347*294/284/135 (*347HW/294SSW) | (twitter) @Mwrarr | mwrarr.wordpress.com
  13. I don't go to the local support meetings bc I'm on one side of the lake & they are on the other, & the meeting is held just after I get out of work. I'd like to make one before I hbe surgery, but idk if it will happen. Maybe now that the semester is ending & I'll get out a little earlier.... I have found great pockets of support online, luckily. :} ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 347*294/284/135 (*347HW/294SSW) | (twitter) @Mwrarr | mwrarr.wordpress.com
  14. Another local! :} Nice to meet you!! ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 347*294/284/135 (*347HW/294SSW) | (twitter) @Mwrarr | mwrarr.wordpress.com
  15. Definitely keep me posted!! I'll send lots of good vibes & energy. I stand at my job--7hrs straight. My ankles, heels & toes hurt so much anymore! I can't wait to drop this fat suit...hopefully it will help! :} ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 347*294/284/135 (*347HW/294SSW) | (twitter) @Mwrarr | mwrarr.wordpress.com
  16. I hear ya...when I called last Wednesday, all was well. Pending, but in order. Called yesterday & all of a sudden they are missing info & denied the claim. Idk what to think. My coordinator said it's not an official denial...idk. Starting to question all of this. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 347*294/284/135 (*347HW/294SSW) | (twitter) @Mwrarr | mwrarr.wordpress.com

    Protein Bars?

    The Think thin bars that I had were not zero carb...they were lower carb than most but not low carb or low sugars. Taste was ok, but ya know... ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 347*294/284/135 (*347HW/294SSW) | (twitter) @Mwrarr | mwrarr.wordpress.com
  18. Hi, I'm not sure if this is where I should be putting this but I have not been able to post from my app since last Thursday. I keep getting an error saying that I am trying to post to a link that the administrator has forbidden...or something to that effect. I have a screenshot on my iPod if you need it. Does anyone know what this means? I'm really missing my VST!!!!

    Anyone Do Ddpyoga?

    Fat burner is a great disc! I think I know which one you're talking about. If it's the one I'm thinking about, then it's fairly similar to the one disc in the set. I ordered the full set way back when & honestly I've only gotten through 3 of them...and that's plenty!

    Protein Bars?

    My NUT said I can have Protein bars once I'm on solids again, but you have to be really careful of the carbs/sugars bc so many of them advertise high protein but if you look at the carbs, they are super high. I found a bar once that was 45g carbs...& very little Fiber to valance the carbs out. I almost had a heart attack from guilt (I was on Atkins at the time) ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 347*294/284/135 (*347HW/294SSW) | (twitter) @Mwrarr | mwrarr.wordpress.com
