So hard to have patience when completing pre op requirements

[Brandy~ 2]

I have had a long hard road on the way to insurance approval... Probably not as hard as some but we all have our issues. I have BCBS of Minnesota. I was required to:

1. Have BMI over 40 (I am 43)
   
2. Medically supervised diet for 6 months
   
3. Letter of recomendation from my doctor
   
4. Proof of overweight for 5 years or more

The medically supervised diet is the worst thing in the world it's taking forever and I resist the urge to call insurance daily to confirm that I have to do it lol. I have been to 4 appts for the diet and my 5th one is in less than 2 weeks! But I am going insane :thumbup:

I guess I am just venting because it's hard not to do a tour of foods!

You are almost there!!!

But....get used to the requirement of patience!!! It seems it is always something we are working for---to get to Onederland---then to lose a set amount of weight.

Right now I have been sitting by my phone waiting for them to call with my PS referral---and they did----the appointment is not until March!

So if you have any patience to spare-----send it my way!!!

You will get there--you have the most of it behind you now!!!
