    There's so much pain here. I can relate.
    This summer we went on vacation and I sat down in a little beach chair which immediately sunk all the way into the sand and I was stuck in it.
    So embarrassing!
    I finally got approved and I will never have to go on vacation fat again!!!

    I have UHC too and they were a nightmare. They kept changing their requirements and I ended up getting denied twice and going to external review. Just got approved yesterday!

    greensleeve got a reaction from JerseyGirl68 in Finally got weight watchers to cooperate!   
    It's been a loooong road. First UHC told me I didn't need a six month diet.
    I waited until everything after our move was settled, then did all the tests, was denied for the six month diet.
    I spent HOURS on the phone trying to get WW to send me something verifying my attendance dates.
    I just gave up and wrote a long son story letter with my phone records showing the hours I spent. Got my appeal denied.
    This has been one of the most stressful things I've been through. I just get to a point where I can't do it anymore.
    Finally I called WW corporate and she is mailing me a letter. I pray it is correct and that UHC will approve me.
    (already checked and WW is acceptable to them).
    If I get approved Im hoping to do it in August.

    greensleeve got a reaction from twoolley in Sometimes I wish I'd never heard of this sugery   
    And I told my counselor yesterday. She said that her niece had it and she's a mess and has many complications. She warned me against it. She said when you can only eat a small amount of food everything had to be high quality or you get sick.
    Really? So I'm not supposed to have it because her stupid niece doesn't know how to eat right? And probably doesn't take her Vitamins.
    I'm just tired of this. I just want to have the sugery and start my new life.

    They are just hoping you will change insurance, go to Mexico, get pregnant, die, give up or lose your job so they don't have to pay.

    I can get up to six weeks of fully paid short term disability. Hell I might stay in Mexico for a few more days....lol.
    My husband thinks Im nuts to even think about Mexico.
    I guess I like to be in control and I don't want to spend another six months jumping through hoops to be denied again.
    I'm going to submit the WW stuff and write a letter and if it's denied after that I'll reassess.

    That makes me feel better, thanks.
    I don't have a full blown dr phobia but I would say maybe an aversion....but a lot of fluffy people do.
