Guess I shouldn't be complaining but.. I go to doc and my BMI is borderline to low. While doc will do bypass he says the girl who handles insurance blew the wind outta my sail.. My BMI was 39.5 I hve no comorbidities ... She need records showing my past 3 year weights ( can't remember back that far what my BMI would have been... I know I was over weight tho! Keeping my fingers crossed it was an exceptae BMI ... Uggh all my life my weight has been an issue !! Now it maynot be?? Seriously:( I know I should like a whinny baby I'm just so worried I won't get approved any one else been thru this? Btw my screen had disappeared. So I cannot see what I'm typing! Sorry if there r miss spellings or sentences that are strange!!

I'm up a few pounds bmi 38 lol still not there. I'm drinking protein shakes for building mass.lol. figures when I need to I suck at gaining weight lol

Hey Joya, have you got any news or anything new going on?

I am going to a new surgeon on the 19th so ill know more then..just praying and keeping my fingers crossed ..how r things going with u?

And thank u so much for asking!:-)

Just taking it month by month. lol

Just wanted to see how things were going on your end.. I'm still doing the so-called diet. I am also looking at other surgeons meanwhile. Can't hurt. Everything crossed for you. Keep me updated!

Yes I'm still doing the diet also ! Thank u ...keep me up to date on u as well! Praying praying! Will be for u also we deserve this!!!

I think they just want u to get frustrated and give up! I won't have an opinion on how good my insurance is until its submitted and the approve or deny!! Lol

When do you submit?? Good luck!

My 6 month diet will be complete in April/: then I should b able to submit

It's okay.. me too. April seems sooooooo far away. I'm hoping that May will remain my scheduled surgery day...

Romans 12:12

Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.

My 6 month diet will b complete in April:/ so after that! I'm hoping I can have surgery by springtime! U???

I'm scheduled for May 6th.. and my consult is set for April 16th 2013. The surgical coordinator told me my diet forms weren't filled out correctly so she advised me to start over to assure everything was documented right...that set me back a whole month. Instead of being finish with my diet early April I will be done early May... I don't know if they'll allow me to go ahead and show up for consult that scheduled day or if they will push the date back to allow me to completely finish then come for consult in May... It sucks so frikken bad that I have to be above 40 at consult... I wish I could weight in then do the diet... nerve wrecking.

Wow... my doc will submit with initialweight prior to 6 month weight loss if the weight loss is required by insurance. Sorry be strong all will work out.

I've been battling weight for a number of years.. however my doctors didn't go into detail in their doctors notes about my weight loss attempts and treatment options .....and they also weren't consecutive on top of all that. They want 6 months of an attempted/ and failed supervised diet... once they have evidence of that they will consider approval... and of course must be 40 or above at consult or there wont be a party going on. lol

The Lord has his way of doing things, and when he does,it will be done right... We must practice patience...that's all.

So they have u a surgery date without being approved ? Pray pray pray!! I keep remembering what the first surgeon told me..they make u jump thru all these hoops hoping we will give up! I am not until I know there is no hope! Since I've been on my "diet" (lol) I have actually gain a bit I'm miserable ..but was told do not drop below 40!

Btw that scripture is perfect! And so is His timing;-) just the selfish part of me forgets who's in controls sometimes!
