Kevin, I just figured, after replying to your post, I should check out your profile and see WHO is Kevin A?
Well, I jsut want to tell you to hang in there. This is draining emotionally and people don't understand how exhausting it can be to try to fight fight fight for this surgery. It took us a long time to finally get the right insurance to cover us (my hsband and I both had surgery) But once we found the right ins. things went smoothly. I probably could have fought to get surgery from the other insurances that had turned me down in the past, but 1. I wasn't aware of the support and information on obesityhelp and 2. I didn't have the mental or physicao energy to put up any kind of fight.
I am so happy that it's over and life is much better. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers that, after this BS that you have been through, you will have SMOOTH SAILING from here on out!
Keep us posted on your progress, can't wait to hear the day you find out you're approved!!
