Didn't I tell you HE was good?

Wow. Where do I start....

Well, a little over a month ago I found myself in a string of bad luck. Spent the night in jail, court cost, bills, spring clothes for the kids, etc...everything was piling up. At the same time, I was having a horrible time with these rashes under my panni. So I decided to change/fix my ways, and exit the bar and head for church. Cuz, I was surely kickin it! It was bringing a sure fire curse in my life.

So I start going to church, and I said to myself. You know what, man gone do what man gone do. If this judge throws the book at me and fine me a million dollars--so be it---I'm giving my money to God first--and let the chips fall where they may.

AND WHAT DID I DO THAT FOR? OHHH WEE!

Totally blessed. All, and I mean all, of the money that I lost in paying of my court debts had been restored to me, my car...required little work to be fixed, money kept comming into my account. I'd tithe off of it, and I'd get more. Surely, I have been blessed.

So a few weeks ago, I had my ps consult for a panniculectomy. Submited the paper work to the ins. co. and was DENIED.

I started researching everything I could about appeals, and used one of them that I found online in creating my own. It was 6 pages. The thing is, that all of the Ohio appeals that I read online had ended badly for the patient. ALL of them were denied. So I knew that if I had to go all the way, that I would have a very heavy battle on my hands. And it vexed me. I thought about it night and day. And I prayed to the Lord, and I begged and begged.

I submitted my appeals 2 days ago, and this morning, I got a call from the insurance company with the news THAT I HAD BEEN APPROVED! Yea!
PRAISE THE LORD!

Its been said, that panniculectomy is one of the hardest surgeries to get approval for...and I'm a living testament that GOD MAKES A WAY WHEN THERE SEEMS TO BE NO WAY!.

As a matter of fact, I've read only a few OHIO panniculectomy stories, and NONE here in TOLEDO, OHIO. So, I wanted to make sure that I pay it forward for all of those in the struggle, who like me, spends hours scouring the internet, hoping for that glimpse of hope that someone has in some way, paved the road for them.

Here is my info:

I have Paramount Advantage insurance
I was denied at first,
Appealed then Approved.
I am a resident of Toledo, Ohio.
Yes, panniculectomies are approved, even without a hernia.

I suffered from consistant rashes, shoulder pain, and high blood pressure. I will be more than willing to forward a copy of my appeal letter, all you have to do is shoot me an email.

And remember,
In all things, consider HIM, and then thank HIM.

For the Word says,
"No eye has seen,
No ear has heard,
 No mind has conceived 
 What God has prepared for those who love him--
But God has revealed it to us by his Spirit. "

Amen~~
