Don't you just love the inequality?

no' date=' i don't want it done unfairly, everybody should have to do the same requirements with the same insurance company--- well in fairyland I guess that might happen-- I am very fat, and did eat myself up to where i am---(if I had known 50 was the magic number I would have tried harder) - if the rest of you didn't, well you are saints or something-- I'm also old and every month counts -- once i have a date i will be the most pleasant old lady you could find-- it's the waiting that's got me on edge and making my stomach feel like there's a cement fist grinding in there[/quote']

I'm not so sure it is the insurance company but the plan adopted by your employer.

I have waited 3 years because 2 insurance companies denied me. I am approved and scheduled now but I had to endure a lot of Band pain the last 3 years. Life isn't fair and insurance companies see you as a case file....not a human. It could be worse than a 6 month wait!

I "ate my way up " to 51 BMI, now 48 and I still have to wait for my "reward" where I may have serious health problems and complications or

I think I'm from another planet because the word "reward" means something totally different to me

What does the word reward mean to you?

I really had to fight to get approved and it took 4 extra months. I made a choice to be productive with that time to prepare for the possibility of surgery. I was finally approved and 13 days later I was sleeved. I will be the first to tell you that I am not a patient person but I also know enough to go with the flow when needed. My surgeon was furious with the way I was treated (as was I) however in no way would I ever begrudge or think down upon anyone else who was able to have the surgery before or after me regardless of their circumstances. I am on this forum because I believe most people feel this way and we are here to support each other. At the very least I hope everybody can be respectful of each other.

In my world, a reward is a satisfying return that is earned, given or granted based on positive behaviors, like positive reinforcement.....

I thought everyone who went through insurance had to do all the hoop loopin'?

Apparently the more snicker bars you eat the less hoops you have to jump through...

I mean now that I think about it, the more snicker bars you eat the bigger you get and the less you can jump. Also hoops come in a standard size and at some point you can no longer fit through it...do they make plus size hoops, does anyone know....

Sigh

Not me girl, I was so fat that when I went for my consult, the surgeon sent me directly to the emergency room to cut my stomach out!

Lmaoo omg I just had to idea how to get my surgery quicker...

I'm going to call 911, let them know I'm having a fat-attack and Demand an ambulance immediately. That way I don't have to sit around in the emergency room. They'll rush me right in for my reward. And I'll be fixed!!! Brand new, no problems!

Why didn't I think of this before?!?!
