I decided a year ago that I had to have surgery. I found an insurance company that covers but I had to wait until January to make the change. The insurance co then required a 6-month diet. I went through all the little hoops and now I'm looking forward to surgery tomorrow. Keep working towards your goal! Kelly R.

Hello Kelly Jo My husbands insurance company didn't want to pay for my surgery either and gave me such a run around which went on for several months. I had nearly given up. Then his company announced back in June that they were going to change their benefits - and offered different options. I went over each one carefully - checked and double checked that they would approve this surgery - it went into effect on August 1. In the meantime while I was waiting for it to change, I got all the preliminary done - and now my surgery is just a couple of days away - I can't believe it's so close! Please don't give up - keep praying - and keep telling yourself "it's going to happen"!! I noticed your first message was back in May and here it is September - before you know it January will be here. I can also appreciate some of the negative responses you've gotten from people - don't listen to them - I've gotten to the point where I just let what some people say go in one ear and out the other. It's not about them, it's about you!! I read alot of motivational books - inspired by the company I work with - it has helped me so much. I work every day at getting rid of negatives - I'm just so ready for my life to change, and yours will too. I'll keep you in my prayers!! Thank you so much for your kind words - support - you sound like a very caring and wonderful person. Oh, and I'm from Ohio also!!

Thank you for your encouragement! I almost changed my mind because I thought I was not going to be able to go back to work for 2 months and was going to lose my benefits, my job, and I could go on, but amazingly none of my worries are based on fact. My job is great, have my benefits, and (hopefully) will recover in FAR less time than I believed. I am excited, and you will get there too..... thanks again.

Thank you for the well wishes for my surgery. Good luck to you, I will pray for you that the time seems to fly by you for you to get your new insurance. I bet 2007 is going to be your year for sure! Keep me posted okay.

Thank you for your kind words of encouragement. My insurance denied WLS due to a written exclusion policy. That was in December 2005. Yes, God does have a plan. One door was closed and then I changed employers and did my research on the different insurance policies offered. My new insurance kicked in 6/1/06 and surgery is scheduled 8/15/06. One thing I have learned that is it is all in God's time, not mine. The waiting is hard, but it gave me an opportunity to reflect on why I wanted this surgery. It is not to fit in a size 10 (I'll take a size 14),but it is about the quality of life we live. I look foward to many of the same things you do. God bless and keep that positive attitude!
