I have my last nutritional visit in one week and they will send my stuff off to insurance right after. For this whole time, I've just been cruisin along, doing what I need to do, not really worried. But, now that its coming down to the wire w/insurance, I am getting really nervous.

I got all my bases covered (two cormids - longstanding high bp not well controlled w/meds and sleep apnea requiring CPAP) and my BMI is around 38 now and was 35 in 2008. I have a long long history of failed diet attempts. The only problem is that I was successful on WW in 2007 so my BMI was below 35 for that whole year. I have weights past 2 years that show I was 35+ previous though. I just anticipate that I will be denied automatically because of that and have to go through the appeal process. So annoying because its like you are damned if you do (diet and lose) and damned if you don't (cause they also require that you tried to diet). (BTW, I have Aetna)

I feel like its a long shot, but I hope they will just approve me the first time. What are the chances of that??? :thumbup:

Anyway, I am rambling, but any words of support you can give me are very much appreciated. Thanks!

Today is the day! I am still so nervous. Not sure why since this is just the BEGINNING of the wait to hear back from insurance. Looks like this was the wrong week to quit drinking (odd 'airplane' movie reference LOL).

Stay positive before you drive yourself crazy!!!!lol Wishing you luck!
