Can you guys please send some prayers, good vibes, good thoughts my way? I could really use them for my insurance approval. They want more and I don't have anything left to give them.

TIA

Prayers on the way. Best of Luck.

Thank you, Cathy.

Good luck! My insurance is going to send me through the biggest hurdles EVER! You are not alone!

If you don't have any more records, try writing a letter. Talk about your history of being overweight and how it impacts your life. Talk about the physical and emotional challenges. Also talk about what you have done in past to lose weight and what you plan to in the future to ensure that this new tool (RNY) works for you.

It may help, it may not, but it can't hurt to try.

Good luck!

Thank you, all. It really means a lot to me to have such an amazing support group here. The majority don't understand and always judge and blame it on poor diet and exercise.

Ms Kb, I did write a 9 pages long personal letter to my insurance. I don't know how much of a difference did it make, though. I gave it to my bariatric coordinator together with all the letters of medical necessity I could "beg" for, from my old PCM, current OB/GYN, and current PCM.

I have to see my PCM next week for obesity counseling again, so she can provide me with the last insurance requirement. Time if so not on my side.

I am not losing faith. I witnessed way to many miracles in my life to give up now.

I will definitely be praying for a smooth approval for you...claim it, gather what you can, and leave the rest up to God.
