Fishy

My fiance has PCOS. That is not linked to weight. Your fat can produce some more complications but it does not cause PCOS. You will stay have PCOS when you lose 100 pounds. You. Should. Not. Be. Allowed. This. Surgery. Sorry if that hurts your feelings.

Doctors get a kickback you dimwit.

Where do you go?

LOL. Yes, "your journey". You act like you're on the road to Narnia or something. Get a grip. As far as hearing back, I truly hope you don't get approved. And I will be reporting your doctor and bariatric center for allowing you to skirt the system and line your pockets with heavy objects.

The ankle weights, pennies in the pockets and all that other garbage is DISGUSTING. Rules are rules and are in place for a reason. You're basically stealing, when you do something like that. I'm sorry they're upset. But the truth is that they're upset because they know I'm right.

Bull shit. The doctors are largely in it for the MONEY.

I think there are exceptions to every rule and you sound like one. Plus you have been trying for 6 years.

Yes.

Lol shut up about "YOU DO NOT KNOW MY JOURNEY". It sounds stupid and pathetic and embarrassing. I was approved because I have amazing insurance and most of my tests were completed for other reasons. I had a sleep test last year - they used that. Full blood panel a month ago - they used that. They used my last 6 weigh ins at my doctor. And I have a regular therapist who approved me. Also, my cravings are due to INSULIN INBALANCEs. Man some people are stupid. As far as being as big as I am, you LOOK like you're about 600 pounds so maybe you're right - you need this surgery bad.

You are 100% right. Great post.

Lol I'm not offended at all. Just pointed out that PAUL started the insults. Not me.

You're right. All I've done is give my opinion. The problem is that if you don't agree with them, they get upset. Notice the first person to bring up putting down the food was Paul.

Just shows how stupid you truly are. Marketing and development is not car sales. I've never sold a car in my life. You see those car ads on tv? Hear those dealership ads on the radio? See those billboards? That's my job. Glorified car salesman? Ha! Ps, it's "a" it's "an".

I'm not judging, I'm giving my opinion.

Thank you. I do have big balls. Also, if you could read you would know I never said anyone has to be dying.

Dumb as a bag of bricks huh? I'm 24, own my own home, and live with my fiancé who I am marrying in 4 weeks. You can visit our wedding website at RyanAndKristina2012.com I have a degree in marketing and accounting. I currently am the director in charge of marketing and development at a car dealership in Rochester, NY. So I guess you were right about... Nothing! Also it's "college" not "collage".

No thanks.

Yes... do you know what insulin does? Wow. There are people on here who do not know basic chemistry.

That's the problem.

The OP did leave it up to the insurance conpany. And she was denied. That's why this thread exists. And yes of course it isn't a quick fix but some people view it that way

Got approved in 12 hours the first time. And no, my issue had nothing to do with a fork. Read above for my story.

If I was denied by my insurance company, why motivation would I have to agree with them? Common sense dude, common sense.

There ya go. Run away from your problems. Yeah... you won't gain the weight back

I didn't blame it on insulin. The doctors did when i was 4 months and was gaining weight at twice the rate a normal baby should be. When I was 2, I was in the 99th percentile for two year olds. When I was 10 I weighed 190 pounds. I was the size of a normal sized adult man at 10 years old. And it wasn't because of gorging myself. When the doctors told my parents that I would have trouble with weight, they put me on so many diets your head would spin. When I was at LUNCH, I was eating salads and rice crisps while my other friends were eating tacos, and juice boxes. So before you go spouting off at the mouth, you should probably know what you're talking about. Again, you apparently don't know what elitism is. If we dont give gallbladder surgery to a person with no gallbladder issues, are we elitist? Like This Quote MultiQuote

If you care less about what I am saying you wouldn't be responding. And you woudn't even care to be honest. You are only upset because you know there is some truth in what I am saying and the truth hurts. I am not god, but I do use common sense. We don't give gallbladder surgery to people who have one bout of pain in their right side. We don't give MRI's to someone who has a few headache's. We don't even open people's chests up after one heart attack. Giving WLS to someone with under a 40 BMI is ludicrous. There is a reason why their are sanctions on it. There is a reason why insurance denies it. There is a reason why world class surgeons won't operate on anyone with a BMI under 45.
