so a girl at work told me that i need to go through a center of excellence or ill never get it covered my my insurance. so i called my local center of excellence (Norton hospital) and the girl set me up with a seminar with Dr Shena and told me where to get the question packet for the insurance company. she told me not to call it weight loss surgery, call it correcting morbid obesity. she was really surprised that my Dr didn't do more considering my BMI is 43. i know that isn't THAT high but she acted really surprised.

anyway i just printed off the question sheet and I'm going to call them when i get home and go over it. i haven't read any of it yet but it was 20 pages long and i fill it out as they answer the questions. I'm really excited. i have the sleep study consult Monday i and i don't know if i still need that or not. i mean i don't have the money to be paying on things i don't have to have. ya know???

I'm impressed with your perseverance. It will pay off. My journey took me a year but when it finally came I was more committed than ever. You won't believe how good you'll feel once you get a cpap machine! I was almost 50 years old before I was finally diagnosed and had a full nights rest! I'm so pleased that you are so young and will be able to live a much fuller life! Keep at it!

Yea!! I am so glad to see you actively pursuing this! You are doing great and I hope you get approved!! That's what it takes chica, push, push, push and eventually it will all fall your way. Great Job and so happy to hear this!!
