Well, it's true, I cannot even believe I now get to write on here that I am yes, approved!!!! My claims supervisor called today and left a message at 4:01 pm that I was approved. Now the funny part of this is that I hate waiting and it's been so hard for me to do that I finally after 2weeks since the last submission of items they wanted from me in order to make a decision, broke down and called them (ins.) today. I spoke to dear "Dot" who looked into it for me and said that Beth my claims supervisor had it on her desk and was still processing the information. So I said thank you for checking and she said is there anything else???? I then told Dot to let Beth have my phone # in case there might be any questions, and then I became possessed by something and said, Dot please let Beth know that I have researched this for 2 years, and while difficult for me to make this decision I have w/ my Dr. realized that it is the best way for me to improve my health. Also, please let her know that I'm not working at this time and need to but my weight hinders this greatly. That I will not go away and my attorney is on standby with me waiting to send out an appeal right away. She thanked me kindly and said sure I'll let her know. Now understand I said all of this as nice as sugar and I meant it too. Then I hung up and thought what the heck "did I just do???" So I spent the rest of my day researching the best attorney's and how to put together an appeal letter that would win them over. And do you believe it ........................I got approved at 4:00 this afternoon! I'm thrilled! Sorry to be long winded but I had to tell anyone who would listen. Thank you for listening!!!! A very special thank you to my bud, Paul in Texas, man without your guidance I'm not sure that I would have been approved!! You're the best and I've missed you around here!!!!!! Thanks to all my buddies here at OH for you support and advice! You've been a godsend! Now hopefully I'll be a loser sometime soon!!! ~Hugs to all of you, NEVER GIVE UP!!!!!! Steffanie

Good news to you. What an exciting moment when that approval come through. I had my surgery on Friday and came home yesterday. All was smooth saliling. Hope you'll be saying the same soon. Patti
