I'm being kicked off my insurance because it's my mothers (I'm currently unemployed) and I'm turning 23 August 7th since I am turning 23 the age where insurance no longer covers (which we didnt know until yesterday) On December 31st I will be taken off.

Before we were told as long as my mother could have me on her taxes and I lived with her there would be no problem but there is.

So today I called the insurance and talked to the lady I always talked to, she said if we had the doctor's office fax all my past history that I had and weight loss to them that they could possibly shorten my 6 month diet to where it wasn't so close and down to the wire in December.

Well they faxed the information and She called back said within a week I should know if it can be shortened.

I sure hope it can I don't want to get this far and have to end this whole journey.

Wish me luck. I sure hope something works out.:thumbup:

Are you in school? Some insurance companies will allow you to stay on your parents insurance if you have proof you are a full time student.

Community College, University, just a school.

I was 2 years ago ran out of money and havent had a chance to go back and i was waiting to look for a job after the surgery and I wont be covered on her insurance if i find a job before it

Ya, I think if you are in school they cover you til your 25. Maybe check and see if you could get a low-interest stafford loan so you are still on their insurance.

I know how that is...

What if you found a dayjob and took four night classes? That would be 12 hours, which would qualify you and buy you some time.

Its a tough situation. I hope you get it figured out.

I am trying to get back to school myself so I understand where your at.

So My insurance called me back yesterday about maybe shortening the 6 month diet so I won't be so close to December with my surgery when I am getting kicked off insurance Dec 31st.

She said as of now they can't do anything but if I lose a good amount in the next month or 2 that they might be able to shorten it then.

So here's to more waiting and worrying that everything won't get done in time. I sure hope everything works out.

I wish I wasn't turning 23 this year now! Oh well.:rolleyes2:

Good luck Froggi! I sure do with you the best!

Hang in there Froggi. Will be praying for a shorter wait time for you.

It's not that I don't want to do the 6 month diet I wouldnt mind that at all I just dont want my stuff to extend clear to december then me not being able to have surgery after going through all of this.

Thanks everyone for the kind words.

Do you have any history with taking weight loss medicine being prescribed by a Dr or anything? If so they will honor that like that person said. Think realllllyyyy hard and if so see if u can get a copy of the medical records and fax them in... I truly hope everything will work out...
