axd0424 33 Posted April 7, 2013 Well .. 2weeks from Tuesday and ill be on the road to being healthy. Started the process a year ago Monday I fluctuated the last 10 years of a I of 32 - 37. I have sleep apnia and degenerative bone disease. I've had me knee cleaned out and my back fused. I went through hell getting this approved because I wasn't "big" enough. Took Cigna 3 months and 2 denials to approve. My doctors office rocked. Any of u from the Hartford ct area? 1 50Faye50 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
