OMG, you are so funny. I bet there are more than 3 of us that feel this way on this site somewhere. There is probably someone out there who has the answers too. I'm not sure Oprah would have anything to do with us. I mean, why hasn't she done this? Too bad Ricky Lake isn't still on. Keep in touch. If anything you have to keep a sense of humor when you are feeling butt ugly.

After going through 3 months of testing with the 1-800-Get-Thin people in California. I found out that my insurance does not cover weight loss surgeries. What is worse is that I have had all the testing done and now I have over $6000 in medical bills. I could have paid for the surgery. I cried all day yesterday, so I get your heartache. They told me I was pre-approved. On the upside, I did find out that I have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and Chronic Kidney disease. I would really benefit from the surgery. But, I guess it is not to be. Feeling very betrayed and angry at this company. My calls to them have gone unanwered.
