I called my insurance company this morning...did not want to be a pest so I waited two weeks to call they did not show any pending claim for me. they said it was cancelled bcz the doctor's office did not provide a date range, but a specific date and that date has since passed...so they just cancelled it! waaaah! nothing was said to the doctor's office or me...just cancelled! sorry for the bad punctuation and grammar..I'm at work..sneaking to update how could anyone just forget about little old me! wah! fingers crossed this will be resolved Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using the BariatricPal App

i cant believe how much info this site has given me! Big thanks to all of you who are so eager to help and offer advice! When I turned 40, I declared this "My Year!!" I would do something for myself...and so far this has been my most selfish year ever! ha! I was always skinny as kid...very boney and lanky! My weight gain came on fast because I always thought I could lose it. Both my parent's passed away in 2004...and the pounds came packing on. Depression, bad choice of food, my love for pizza and my passion for a nice cold beer all caught up with me. I turned 40, I'm 5'3" and I weigh 265lbs! ugh! I always carried an extreme confidence....and even though I was sad and unhappy with myself, my friends and family never saw this. I was the jokester and the entertainment at each get together! I always managed to dress nice but the selections are small when you are wearing a size 24 jeans! I just got tired and said "I want to walk into a regular store and grab a shirt off the rack instead of special ordering my Cleveland Cavaliers championship t-shirt and paying 3 times the $ for a plus size shirt!" So here I am..... I'm waiting on approval. I have completed 6 months of nutrition visits, I had a apnea test, scope down my throat to check for ulcers, a psych evaluation (which I can proudly say I passed -haha) and many many tubes of bloodwork. I had my stuff submitted to insurance on Sept 2. They said it would be 2 weeks. They came back right away with a denial due to the hospital not being Accredited, which it is. So they went back to the insurance company...and I am sitting here waiting. They are super quick to come back with a denial but don't mind taking their time for approval. I'm a nervous wreck!! I stare at my phone all day waiting for the call. I keep logging on to my insurance website hoping I can see something positive. That's my story...I appreciate reading all of your journeys, all of your suggestions and all the info you all provide. thanks for reading! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using the BariatricPal App
