DUM-DEE-DUM

hi everyone, i was just sitting here and wanted to say hello to you all I know you have heard it 1000 times beforebut I really mean it.........everyone on here is awesome Now, that being said....................lets Thanks guys for being here!!!

Hi Bridget, I was just reading your profile. You are so funny girl ! your family and friends must love having you around! I can totally feel for you and all the insurance hoops you gotta jump through. I'm having quite a time myself. with the 6-month diet thing and frustration of the insurance run-around. I litterally spent a month sitting by my phone and forwarding all my calls to my cell--just to find out that my diet history wasn't good enough. It's really humiliating putting yourself out there isn't it?

Virginia, Thanks for answering my post. You are soooooooo right.......sometimes the whole waiting thing drives me . I got really really scared when the doctors office told me that my paperwork was "on its way to insurance". I was thinking "OMGoodness...its really going to happen". well, i neednt have worried..........that paperwork was sitting in LPL (thats lost paperwork limbo) yea...i guess my family loves me.......but now they say to me when i start a conversation " OMG is this about your surgery?" Can we say Obsessed? LOL please keep in touch..it helps to know there are others "trudging along" in this process. Take care.

Bridget, Hey, I hear ya. My family thinks I'm totally insane about this surgery thing. They are like," Mom, why do you think you have to fight to get this surgery?" They just don't understand. I found out what happens if you don't cross your T's and dot your I's. The insurance company must enjoy "the drama" and the humiliation that they put all of us through. In a sence, they are saying that fat people are so "stupid" and have no "will-power"--that's why we are going to make these people go through extreme measures (my ins. co wants me to go on diet pills) I think that it is meant to make us give-up and go away. Do I sound bitter? I'm really not, I just feel like a lab rat.....how about you? Yes, let's keep in touch! *Virginia
