Last year I went through the process for VSG. Though I did not meet the minimum requirements my PCP, and other specialists felt that it would be beneficial for me to have Based on my other medical issues. I was not approved and I lost my appeal.
I gave up and decided I would lose weight on my own, I gained 11 pounds It is a long and boring story but in the end, my body is working against me and having this "tool" could work wonders for me and greatly increase the quality of my life.
After gaining the 11 pounds I decided to see a new surgeon. Part of the issue last year was the coordinator in the surgeons office said there was nothing they could do to help with the appeal. I had several conversations with her which were fruitless, I made several requests to speak with the surgeon or get an appointment with him and I was denied, this is where I gave up.
I did all the pre-op tests again and saw the new surgeon for the second time this week. At this point he had time to review my medical records and become aquainted with my other diseases. He very sincerely looked at me and while shaking his head said there is no reason the insurance should not approve this his exact quote was " you should not have to suffer every day when there is something I can do to help you, your body has been through so much".
He is ready to fight for me. This is not to say that I will get approved by the insurance, but it has given me some reason for hope

If we didn't have the occasional melodrama on this forum it would get boring real quick. We can only talk about stalls for so long.

Wow! Shame on you for this post! Overall I have found people on this forum to be an amazing resource. For those who you may not agree with, understand or like you simply don't need to read them or you could comment directly to them. At the very least don't throw insults out to the community and then ask for help in deleting your account. I appreciate you stating that the post was not meant for everyone but it really was not necessary nor was it in good taste. None the less I wish you health and happiness as you move on.

I have lots of numbers.
100 pounds to lose.
28 years old.
10 when my dad died of heart problems.
22 years left before I have a heart attack like the other ladies in my family.
2 months left of pre op diet!
Not wanting to be a number is a ridiculous reason to leave this site.

I am very close to 2 people who had gastric bypass. One couple went through some adjustment to the "new me" that evolved and it has been a bumpy road but they seem to be working it out. The other couple really supported each other through the changes and have grown stronger as a couple.
My husband is an amazing man who truly loves me and I love him just as much so I am hoping we escape any relationship issues, but want to be sure to be aware of it and make time for us if this surgery does happen for me.

Congrats and great job
