I am still in the stage waiting for approval. I come on here for inspiration and to cheer on others progress. I am so happy for all the success others have had. It is so awesome to read and see everyone progress.

But I am six months from when I went to the seminar. Three months from when my first attempt for approval was submitteded. And I didn't even have to do the diet. I'm trying to stay positive. But when is my turn? Why can't I call insurance and hear that magical word approved? I have heard denied 4 times from insurance. I'm losing hope and I'm getting the sinking feeling that my external appeal will be denied. Self pay is out of the question. All money is going to wedding and our new house...

I don't trust you penny wise! I know you feed on fear! Damn alien clown!

Also don't worry about the surgery it will happen! You just need to be strong and big the hell out of those insurance ppl till you get an answer!

Stay strong!! I know the feeling of not knowing and its terrible!!!

My insurance has such strict rules about the requirements. There is no wiggle room and nothing about comorbidities. Thing is I have MS and fibro on top of comorbidities. So weight loss is hard. Too hot and I get too fatigued I can barely walk. Too cold and my body hurts too much to move. It's kind of a sucky situation. :-)

Hearing no all the time kind of chips away at the positive attitude I had about approval.

I just want to know....

It's driving me nuts!!! I'm to the point of calling every other day. I know the external review has until January, but I just want so bad to hear approved.... Will be deviatated if they say no. But I just want to know...
