  1. I'm so tired of battling & waiting on the ins co. It's been 8 months now. I'm considering Mexico myself. Can anyone tell me what the approximate cost is?
  2. Exactly!! They said they will submit the letter & call back in a week... Again keeping the faith & knowing all things happen in His time. Thanks for the encouragement. . Go us!!!
  3. I feel your pain. I have been jumping through hoops since late Aug & my info was sent to BCBS last month & today I called & was told I was denied bc I didn't have a letter from my PCP saying I'm physically stable enough to withstand surgery. SERIOUSLY??? I have seen heart specialists & drs for 7 months & NOW I need a LETTER from the dr that referred me? Yah I cried. I actually had to gain some weight bc I "only" had a BMI of 35 & 1 co morbidity. Not the TWO that was required. I'm tired & I'm kinda depressed & I AM JUST READY TO MOVE ON & BE HEALTHY I hate that a insurance co is dictating my life right now ( or that's how it feels @ this moment). I wish everyone the best & God willing this will happen for all of us soon. I've been trying to stay positive but today is a tough one... (Sorry if I'm being a Debbie Downer)
  4. Hi Chrissy. I'm in the same boat as you. I have been waiting for approval for almost a month now & it's very frustrating. Fingers crossed for both of us!!
  5. Who looks beautiful? YOU DO!! Congrats!
  6. I lol so hard @ his reaction. I've been accused of snoring, but it has never been PROVEN!! Lol
  7. I had a "best friend" like that. I lost 70 lbs on Atkins (I know y'all are groaning lol) and everyone was complimenting me EXCEPT her. She said she "just couldn't see it". Then one day she saw it & all she could say was " taking it off is easy (it was???) but MAINTAINING it is the hard part so BE PREPARED". Honey don't let them get them down. You are not doing this for them, you are doing this for YOU! Don't even waste your time on toxic energy. You just keep on putting out there your good energy and that's what you will attract. And as the mom of 2 kids that need speech, I WISH I had someone like you, esp someone that would come to my house!! Bless you for the work you do with the kids. . Stay strong & it's ok to vent.
  8. Can you hear me screaming GOOD LUCK!! all the way from Chicago?!? . YOU CAN DO IT!! I LOL @ work about your coffee comment. People looked at me sideways. Haha. Stay strong!!!
  9. CHECK YOU OUT!!! Congrats!!
  10. Congrats to you!!! Hope you are feeling better soon & I can't wait to be where you are!
  11. Can I also be added? jmcook531@hotmail.com I'm waiting for ins approval. Fingers & toes crossed.
  12. Hey everyone.. I'm just curious.. Anyone here thats been sleeved for over 4 years? There's no one in my "support" group that is even close to 2 years. Do they just not need the support any more & just kinda drop off? I'm really interested in the long term success stories.
  13. That's friggin amazing!! How are you feeling now?
