Denied Again

Jul 06, 2009

Well here I am and very disappointed, I have yet again been denied.  Basically my BMI is to low and they will not grant the surgery.  The surgery was basically for my kidney to lose weight, and take the fat out of the kidneys which is what is giving me the protein in my urine.  I have been on medicines for 2 years to try to fix the protein.  My kidney doctor thought this would be my best solution to my problem, he said I have some kind of metibolic syndrome which is effecting my kidney.  I just cant lose the weight on my own and when I do it just comes back.  My BMI is 39.1 and they refuse to see the medical condition involved here.  I called my doctors office, whom did not call me, I actually called them to ask why they did not call and they said they were not notified yet of the denial. (really???)    I went on to speak to the Doctor himself and told him that (his admin assistant) is very unprofessional, I had many words with her over the months that I had to deal with her.  She insisted to me each week that the surgery is next Friday everytime I called. And as far as her handling my paperwork, that was a joke.  My papers sat on someones desk for 1 month till I called to find out the status of the appeal.  WHAT A SURPRISE, to find out that it wasnt even touched.  The Admin ASSistant never followed up and I was doing all the leg work.  (IMAGINE THAT)  The doctor heard my mouth without the phone.  He wants to persue this further and I told him to do whatever he wanted to do, and call me when he finds anything out.  I will no longer stress out over this and I will move on to the next phase of my life.  I WILL LOSE WEIGHT ON MY OWN.  I am just going to have to put things in perspective and DO IT.  Wish me luck,  I totally wish my friends luck and SUCCESS in your goals.  I will check in to cheer you guys on, but as for me,  I will just keep the faith and move on. 

CHEERS and SMILES
