There are to many good men out there to stay with someone you can't trust. Staying with someone "for the kids" doesn't work because you become unhappy and the kids suffer. Kids are better off with divorce parents than parents who can't be happy together. You have to make you happy and then everything else will fall into place. So when he gets something that requires medical assistance you can laugh because you were not stupid enough to sleep with him again.

Eveyone who goes to that resturant knows what they are getting themselves into. That place has drawn attention to the amount of fats and calories that go into their sandwhiches. I think that itself is great. It is the silent resturants that cause us to eat the same amount of calories as this place but we don't think about it because we don't see the numbers. How many times do you see people go into the all you can eat places? There is no calorie counter there and they sure don't want you to acknoldge how bad it is for you because most people would think twice about going. I applaude the Heart Attack Grill for being honest and letting you know what is going into your mouth is what can kill you.

Were you sick before your surgery? What caused you to have the mucus? I figure coughing would be horrible after surgery.

I have been denied 2x this month alone by them. I meet all the criteria and have all the paperwork but now they are saying it isn't a medical necessity. I have a BMI with no comorbitites and I have proof of attempted weight loss for god more than 24 months, I have had 2 nut apts, 1 psy evaluation, consultation, seminar and a PCP letter along with 5 years of medical history. I guess being a healthy fat person you can't get surgery. Don't worry I'm am going to fight onces more then just give up and realize they must know something I dont'

I think we all get denied the first time. They want to see if we really want it. So appeal. Let them know you want it and are serious.

Might want to check because BCBS isn't suppose to require weight loss attempts anymore. However have you been getting annual physicals from your primary physician? If so those weights can show your have been overweight for years. I have BCBS-IL so my requirements could be same/different but you can never have to much information for insurance.

I have BCBS-IL but it isn't through Local One. All paperwork was submitted on 1/27 and I was denied 2/3 due to my doctor put all the information on one letter and they wanted it broken up. They normally deny everyone for something the first time. I'm going to call them back on Monday and see what is going on. So far I have had a nut. apt, a psych. evaluation, seminar, and consult. My doctors office doesn't go any further until you get approval. Good luck. BCBS-IL is pretty quick at processing and you actually talk to a real person not a computer and the staff has been so nice to me.

I just looked at it, they don't call me "Grace" for nothing. Good luck. Looks fun but I would be injuried.

I was told not to expect any weight loss until my first fill. After surgery your focus is on healing.

I want to go to Onederland

Your doctors office should have someone who works with the insurance and can tell you the requirements and if it is even covered.

WOW Christy you are lucky. They denied me because my doctors letter had all the information on it but they wanted it written different or even seperated. Are you kidding me? I think it has a lot to do with the fact that if they deny people maybe some won't reapply and those people don't really want it anyways. Only the people who truly want it fight for it.

Mine was sent to BCBS-IL on Thursday and I got denied yesterday. It was over wanting another letter from the doctor. I was told almost everyone gets denied first time. But it was only a 6 day period for them to get my denial. So now I'm waiting to see how long it takes to get the approval.

@Quinnmic are you saying your mom lied to your dad about what she is doing?
