I'm going to go back on topic. As my first-ever post, I wanted to share my "approval" process. I went to have my CPAP supplies scrips renewed at the MDs. there I was told I would have to weigh in. pretty daunting, since I shunned scales like they were covered in broccoli! when I made that Green Mile like trip to the scale, I was scared. I hadn't weighed myself in over two years and know I has to be very very heavy. I got on the scale and the thing let me know. I never thought the number 420 Would ever refer to me. after doing my CPAP thing, I darted (Or what passes for darting when one is 6'2" and 420lbs) to the weight management clinic. I found out that my BMI was around 51. This gave me the other label of 'Super Obese' for my kit. I did all the tests and submitted all the docs and results to the MD's coordinator. When I was called the next day that I had been immediately approved, I felt some relief, but I also felt some fear. Fear that my condition was so severe that the normally tightfisted insurers-that-be did not hesitate to approve me because I was at too high a risk.
I look forward to sharing my journey with all of you!
