Hang in there Froggi! Who'd you speak to? I'd speak to more than one representative. I got different answers from different people when I was trying to get my revision approved. I know it is an entire different situation though.

I was talking to 2 people, they said they didnt mean to scare me but like they don't know for sure until they get everything you know...I don't know how a bmi over 60 at starting wouldnt be enough, she was just trying to say that i would have more luck with health problems I guess. She was just wording things wrong and I am not going to try to worry myself to death and have a heartattack not knowing.

I plan on talking to my nurse about it hopefully tomorrow over the phone I seriously dont think the insurance can decline me when i started at a bmi of 61.9

It's just stressful, the insurance has made mistakes before, so hopefully they're just being dumbasses again.

At the end of the convo she said she didn't THINK I would have probs getting approved, but there's always that slight chance you know?

I thought it would supposedly good to not have health problems weighing over 400 lbs, but I guess if I did it would make things a bit easier.

But I don't have to goto a specialist for heart and lungs anymore, I just need a lung test and an EKG now so that's always a plus. I want them to come back negative but maybe a health problem might help.

But damn I do have depression, GERD, Anemia, irregular periods, and diverticulitus...I think those would help me

I work for a child-serving agency for abused, abandoned and neglected kids. They have a policy that we are not allowed to have any tatts exposed. So, I always have to wear pants to cover up mine. However, when we have our annual Rock 'n Ride, I show that baby cause I figure all the bikers there are showing theirs, how can showing mine hurt.

If I ever get skinny and am able to have a Tummy Tuck, I would love to get my belly button pierced.

Awesome. I have 5, and am comsidering a "half sleeve" when I get closer to goal and I can evaluate if I have loose skin. It's not loose right now, so I'm pretty optimistic. My wife thinks a huuuuge arm tattoo would be hot.

It is pretty hot! My husband is a walking tattoo and I love it. He's SEXXXY!!

Hey Froggi, don't worry too much. They're probably just required to tell you that just in case there is a small chance it doesn't work out. I think it will for you though.

hope so thanks

cheese.

Log.

Good luck Froggi. I hope they pay. Most people that are overweight have sleep apnea. Sleep apnea seems to be one the insurance companies will consider a need for WLS.

[Froggi 4]

I don't have sleep apnea =/

[Froggi 4]

FRUSTRATION. Ugh

Thanks for the support everyone

I just realized that I wear scrubs more than I wear regular clothes. Just to post. By the way, I'm thinking about working this in as my "tagline" in real life. Example:

Boss: "Trey, did you get those studies faxed"

Me: "I'm sleepy and I'm eating cheese. Just to post."

Wonder how many WTF looks I'd get?

Sorry to hear the latest bs about your insurance I hope you can get it straightened out. I guess each insurance company is different but still they should tell you this info ahead of time before they put you through all of this!
