Although I knew it..... Denied!
Although I knew I would be, it was still disappointing to hear that I was denied yesterday. 
Appeals won't help, becaue I've still been just barely below 35bmi within the past 3 years. Even if it was one time, I have to be above 35bmi for 3 consecitive years for insurance to cover, plus 1 year supervised Dr's diet, without any success. If BMI goes below 35, then it begins another 3 years. So, it's not going to help me to appeal. That's part of the reason I went on to Metabolic Research and joined last Tuesday after the Dr's appointment. Good news is though, that I have lost 5lbs since Tuesday! YEAH!! Not a major thing, unless I keep on losing and keep it off. My spirits are up now though, because my DH and friends are really encouraging me. One of my friends from work is going to join me with Metabolic Research Centers this week. We can push each other! I feel alittle bad posting now though because I won't be one of the WLS losers, and won't have the same experiences as most of you. I love each of you though, and want to hang around and give support. You each mean so much and have helped me tremendously!
Thanks!

Brianna Brianna, Thank you so much for your support! I will definately keep you guys posted. It's going to be tough. My DH and I went out with some friends last night and we went out to the Outback! They ordered a blooming onion, my favorite! I tried so hard not to eat any, but ended up getting one little piece and dipping it in that sauce. It was so good, but I didn't dare allow myself any more than that! Then we went to a club and went dancing, and I ended up being the designated driver so they all could drink. Because we all know how alcohol turns to sugar or carbs in the body. I actually did enjoy that part though. Watching everyone else having a good time, and laughing at how silly they were getting. I drank pure water all night long. So, I did bend, but I didn't fall!
