    Why were you denied the first time? I go for my last nutrition consult on Aug 10th and after that they will submit it to my insurance. I am so scared they will not approve me because my BMI is right at 39%:tongue2:

I go for my next and hopefully last visit on 8/10 and after that they are suppose to submit it to my insurance and I am just so scared that I am border line that I wont get approved.:crying:
