on September 16, 2008 5:22 pm
Last week the surgeons office states they did not recieve the 2 yr weight histoery, So I went to the PCP only to find out they can nt give it to me that I need to wait for a week because I need to fill out a special form, So, I went next door to the Urgent Car that I always go to  they pulled my faile and gave a copy of the prgress notess with the weight for the last 3 years I then drove all the way downtown tot he Peachtree Bariatrics and put the papers in the coordinators hand, she told me that she would sent the packet over right away and that was bout 10am, I called Aetna this afternoon and they stat they have not recieved and paperwork as of yet, I will call again to Aetna in the AM, If they still dont have I will call Peachtree to confirm the packet has been submitted

on August 10, 2008 8:48 am
I am geting so excited and  frustraed about the hoops of fire. I need to jump thru  to get  these letters, Dont get me wrong the NUT and exercise have been very helpful and I have learned sooooo much about myself, I am an emotinal eater.  Which I already knew I am looking forward to getting this new tool and mking healthier choices, I knowing we to do some house work, start a enw hobby or just run like HE!! in the other direction to prevent myself from putting something sweet into my mouth.   Oh byt he way did I mention that SWEETS are my downfall.  It took my sister April and friend Linda to tell me that, Thanks a lot.  I am prepared to make to this new journey a success.  I know I have a lot of work ahaead of me.  I am sick of tired of all thses LETTERS, PHONE CALLS and DR VISITS. .   It's like being pregnant in your last trimester, you all know that last 2-4 weeks right be fore you go into LABOR,  I am tired of being pregnant and I am ready to give BIRTH to this new TOOL!!!!!!!!!
I hae been getting so frusted I am ready to cry.  Hopefully when I post again  I wil have a date or I will be waiting to hear from the AETNA.

My Story

Well here's my story.....I am married woman with 3 children all girls I might add.  They are the love of my life, however I have been overwieght my entire adult life.  When I say I have tried everything to loose weight I mean EVERYTHING.  I wll be the 40 this year, and it time for a change...They always say  

"You get the same results if you keep doing the same thing" So i if I try something different I will get differnt results.  I praying this tool will allow me to take a new journey and start a new beginning

I have new dreams, hopes and aspirations.  I would like to go tot he amusement park with my family without fat swollen ankles, and beeing too hot becaue I am affraid to wear a pair of shorts because my thighs are too fat and they rub together. I want to go in public with my husband and not have people looking at the two of wondering what does he want with that fat girl.  

I took the first step to a new me.  

April 19, 2008  I attended the Bariatric Seminar, it was an eyeopener this tool can really work for me, please allow me the chance to take advantage of it.    Waiting for appointment withn surgeon.

April 21, I called insurance company (Aetna) to confirm the surgery would be covered, and yes it isCOVERED.

April 22..I  filled out the 10 page packet about my life medical history took a full clothed picture of myself and mailed back to the Doctor's office.

April 23 ...I am going to sit tight and wait to hear my next move should be.
April 26...Still waiting
