  1. another delay, now the hmo is saying maybe 8-10 months, im so discouraged, but my doctor resubmitted to bsbc today, telling them that i am an excellent candidate....i have been pursuing this since May of 2005, so the hoops that i have to keep jumping through is wearing me down! which is i guess what they want to do.
  2. I know how discouraging this is, I just got the same news from my doctor yesterday, I too have been doing this for 30 years, and i dont want to wait another 6 months, it does seem like a long time, but all you can do is hang in there, Right!!?
  3. so I go for my appointment, and the doctor tells me my insurance might not pay for this because im "Not fat enough"..... now i have to wait 2 weeks before the insurance approves or disapproves it....any suggestions? Im thinking that 120 pounds over weight is more then fat enough!!!!!
  4. Hello everyone......have been reading here for a while, and feel i have found a place of rest!!! It appears that we are all in this together, im not alone, and i have my comrades here for me.....Im going to the surgeon at 4 today(chicago time!!!) to schedule , hopefully, my surgery.. I have been jumping through the hoops for a year( HMO) and now its time....i currently weight 267, 5 5, and i hate myself!!! (I have such a pretty face) (if i ever hear that again will be too soon.....im raising a teenage girl(17) and 2 grandsons 4, 5, and i need the energy, which i dont have. My feet hurt all the time, and i cant climb stairs, Im in good health other then slight blood pressure, not able to sleep(Age) so im ready, so would you all pray for me today...that it will be soon, and a success.....thank you .... will respond later tonight with the news, good or bad!!! suei :mad::nervous
