Well we were all set for Surgery this Month until the Insurance Company called and said I needed a mandatory 6 Month Diet and Exercise program.

I don't understand how when I called the benefits department in Aug they didn't know about this requirement, but all my paperwork from the Surgeon goes in for approval and Walla this missed requirement is now my denial for Surgery.

I attended my first class Nov. 30th and my second class Dec 3rd, have 4 to go. My final meeting with Surgeon is April 5th so hopefully Surgery soon afterwards. The kicker for me is my deductible has been met for this year, now with this extension I must meet a $3000.00 again. Frustrated but not defeated. Good day all.

Cathy, so sorry to hear about your set back but it will go quick! It is just more time to prepare for your new life!!! Good luck!

Thanks for the support. It will go quick I agree.

The six months isn't impossible, I did it and if I can do it anyone with a tiny bit of motivation can. The nutritionist told me that during the six months make the best choice possible for myself at every meal and since I wasn't doing that before that I would lose or maintain. She was right. Good luck. It'll be here before you know it!

Thanks, I am trying to stay positive and push through it. Thanks for your support.
