  1. LOVE MINE! Even got my friends to buy them so we could be competitive!
  2. First and for-most, Not being able to get the surgery approved by the insurance company. In no particular order 1. Being naked in front of my coworkers! (I work at the hospital and I have to see these people in the cafeteria!) 2. Failure, not being able to lose weight or WORSE.... Gaining it back. 3. Pain, never had any so not sure how well I will tolerate it.
  3. I myself was denied and I am not sure why. I meet all of the criteria and have followed every instruction. I have filed a first level appeal and now I have to wait up to 30 days for a response. If my BMI reaches 40 my insurance will cover without any other medical conditions. I am desperate enough to stuff my bra with dive weights if my appeal doesn't get approved. However, I worry they will make me start the process all over again. I guess what I am trying to say is that I feel your frustration. It's hard not to be in control, but don't give up.
