So after 6 months of tests and appts I was called by the nurse at my surgeons office to tell me that my surgery was denied.

I am HEARTBROKEN. ????

I have been though so much this year.

As I started this journey, one month in, my 37 year old husband had a heart attack. Which then required a triple bypass because of 3 blockages. We made it through 20 days in the hospital, 6 days in the cardiac ICU.

We both quit smoking, and I was determined to keep going forward with this. I kept my appts and tests even with him in the hospital. Just so I could have this done and we can BOTH start our new lives together.

Because when he was in the hospital I could barely BREATH let alone eat. I lost 15 pounds.

Now because I quit smoking and my husband is recovering slowly but is recovering nicely, I began to eat. I'm starving. I'm following exactly what I should and I put on 10 pounds. I started a celexa for depression and blood pressure meds a few months ago.

I was denied because of the weight gain through the 3 month nutrionalist appts.

I am so sad, I am so depressed.

I feel defeated.

I plan on appealing. I don't know how to pick myself up from this.

Thanks for reading, advice would be greatly appreciated.
