This was so funny and true. I'm at the beginning can't wait to get to the end.

I can't wait to wear shorts in the summer instead of jeans. I

Do not get back with this guy. You need to move forward and be with someone who will encourage you with your goals. You will find someone else. I believe in second chances but he isn't really giving you a reason to give him one.

That is why I got my records sent to me, then I picked the records to give to surgeon. The insurance lady told me she is suppose to pick the lowest weights. So, I took that out of her hands. I think the big comorbidities they are looking for are hypertension on meds, diabetes, and sleep apnea. I hope you get approved soon

I got approved on Monday but can't get a date till after I take a nutrition class then see the dr. Again. It's quite a pain because I need to schedule the time off way in advance so work will let me off.

I can't wait to take a vacation and actually concentrate on having fun. Usually I'm planning how I will lose weight so I'll be thin on my next vacation. Finally feel like my husbands compliments are true. Not be the fat mommy in my sons kindergarten class.

I submitted all my papers and once the faxed them I was approved in two hours. It was awesome.

Same thing with me. All set for surgery then had to have back surgery. I have same concerns. I hope someone can give us some insight.

Sorry to hear this. Did they say what the 5 comorbidities were? Also if bmi was over 40 for 2012, was it over 40 last year. If yes maybe you could count 2013 as the third year?

Awesome! So glad people are getting approved. Hope I'm next. My last pre op appt is Nov. 1st. Can't wait to submit.

I feel the same way about my insurance lady. They don't have a coordinator. The insurance lady made it clear to me that I am on my own really making sure I get approved. I don't think she would try and fight for my approval. I like the surgeon but office is frustrating. We will see what happens. If it doesn't work I have thought of trying another surgeons office that seems like everyone gets approved through. I'm not going to give up. It has been hell the past 5 months. Can't wait to submit. I really hope you get approved. Keep me posted and good luck!

It is so frustrating to go through all this, I have cried so many times. Once I broke down at the drs office. So embarrassing. You need to appeal. Check out exactly what your policy says. Mine says you can substitute dated pictures for actual weights. They might have denied first off but depending on what policy says you might be able to fight it and eventually get approved. I wish you the best and hope you and I both get approved. Keep your head up and don't give up. We are fighting for our life back : )

I haven't submitted yet. One month to go. I'm having problems with the 3 yr medical history too. I have same insurance as you. I hope you do get accepted. Please keep us posted. Good luck. By the way I did look into the mexico thing. Can be as cheap as 5000 or I was looking at Alvarez and he was 8700. Still hoping I get approved with insurance before I pay out of pocket.
