Denied

Well, I got denied by my insurance provider today. I need 6 months of physician supervised weight loss, nutritionist consultation, and psych eval.

I feel like 6 months is an eternity. How do I get through it?

    :blink: I had to do 6 months as well, I am on month 7 and finally getting to see my surgeon. I have finished the psych eval. nutrition, gyn, and cardiologist. I know I will still need New Blood Work and a upper GI.

    Hang in there it is a long time but so worth it.

    :D I wish you all the best on your journey.

    September 24 will make 6 out of seven. Its actually 6 months but consecutive makes it 7. I have met with the surgeon 2 times now and i i will see him again for final appointment October 23. Right now I am terrified because I have 5 or more pounds to lose by the 24th and I think the stress is making me constantly hungry. Not including I quit smoking a month ago
