Went today to do my lab work and my preop. I had to do my breathing part over again and i pray that they dont say well she needs to see a heart specialist. I have come to far to turn back now. I also had to do a pscy -eval over again becasue mine was to old it was a year old and the doctor wants it 6months are less.

Approved after a year and a half of fighting with them. I had to talk to someone in appeals. Each time i talked to someone they did not see the same things i was always missing something. Dont get me wrong i prayed to my father and he took it from there. I got one person on my case and she found everything that was missing. When they ask for something they want it and they mean it. Make sure you have everything they ask for and make sure each time you go to the doctor he documents your excercise and diet tell him if you are on a 1200 are what ever diet you are on so he can put it in the chart.

It is all about documention documention.
this web site has helped me out so much thank God for you all.
