I won the war!!!

 So I called my insurance this afternoon to check on my appeal......and it was just finalized yesterday and the appeal says overturn denial patient meets medical criteria!!!!!!!! I am APPROVED!!!!!! Aaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!  After all the stress I have put up with!  I never thought it would be approved!!!  I am sooooo excited!!!!!

That's terrific! Congratulations! I'm also in Illinois ... northwest of Chicago. Maybe you'll get a surgery date next week?!! YAY!

 Hey that's wonderful news :)  Congrats to you!

that is fabulous! congratulations...you will be getting a date soon....great news!

 Thanks!!  I am in Southern Illinois. It will probably be June. Hopefully first week!  

Great news, you are on your way!!

Good for you.

However, the war has just begun...

 So very true!!  Let me rephrase....I won the INSURANCE war!  

I'm just a smart ass. There are so many battles to win. I think even after people reach goal they have to battle regain. It's just crazy!

 I can be a smartass too. Lol. But truly, I will fight my eating/weight the rest of my life!!  It sucks!
