First off, congratulations on your new bra! I order them for my sweetie off eBay quite a bit. Always look for new with tags. Second, I used to drive school bus and I see that you are a saint and have more strength than Popeye in a spinach field on amphetamines. I mean a middle school teacher. My hat is off to you.

Congratulations! I remember having that NSV. The fact that i could buy bras in a store designed for everyone but a plus size. Now i love shopping....it doesnt matter if it is bras, panties, clothing, shoes......i could go on and on.....

I can't even imagine! That's awesome!!! Congrats!

Keep your eye on the prize and take one single day or hour at a time. YOu can do this!

You can do this!! Stay busy and occupied with something, especially with your hands. It will be worth it all once you get to the other side of surgery.

It is better now. I added water to my routine (drinking enough to be renamed a waterfall) and did not give-in to temptations which are always abundant. Lost a bit more weight and feel better in control. Thank y'all for your support!

"BrookeM07" Sorry, you have had to wait so long

Well now that I have my date... even if a bit later than yours, we will have to keep in touch!

Keep calling. "The squeaky hinge get the grease".

Yup, don't stop calling. You have to be your own advocate and make sure that people are doing their job. Plus, if you bug them enough they just want to get rid of you.

Good luck!

Thanks for the encouragement!

I saw this: https://wlsappeals.com/meet-our-team/ It might be a help to you good luck

Thank you. I called again and the insurance representative (nice lady) suggested that I have the doctor's office call. She said they would on Monday and try to expedite. Progress...? I hope so!

They have everything needed to make the decision... just have not gotten to it yet. They said they would contact the surgeon first then me. Breathing through the small details... They also said that they would probably contact me by the end of next week which is much sooner than the doctor's office said. I feel better having called

Any update?

I called again today and they said they've received 17 pages of documents from my surgeon's office. The insurance company said that I should know something within 15 calendar days from their late receipt of my paperwork... by June 14, 2016 at the latest. What should have taken 2 weeks maximum is taking 3.5 + weekends. As a teacher. recovery is getting suspiciously close to the start of school. My husband keeps saying God is protecting me from something. So I have been trying to feel blessed.

GOOD LUCK.

GOOD LUCK.

now the fun begins! LOL, be patient, hope you get the good word sooner than later -fingers, toes and nose crossed!! kathy

keep the faith. The insurance companies torture us before hand but they eventually come around.

Thank you everyone. Thursday next week should shed some light on the next steps whenever they get to start. I have faith and am gaining peace by the moment. It is awesome having compatriots here for support and kind words of wisdom.
