As I anticipated.. Insurance Denied.. lack of Physician Supervised Weight Loss documentation... I am one of those people who would have never bothered the doctor for a problem that I thought was my own.. and you all know that the doctors don't exactly offer up and say.." by the way.. you seem to be obese.. let's see what we can do about it.." almost as if it were always ignored by the physicians to begin with.. Not one of my doctors in all of my exestance has ever said a thing about my weight except for when I was pregnant.. and only because I was loosing weight.. other than that.. they have never said a word.. okay.. so i am frustrated... I am sorry.. I rant... So, for the first time in my life.. I have an appointment with my PCP to discuss weight loss options.. but, you know.. frankly.. I have personally tried everything already.. and even so.. nothing will get me to ideal weight except WLS.. That is what I want, that is what I need.. My back pain is almost unbearable... I know that Dr. JOnes could get approval.. but, my denial included consultation.. geeesh... what to do next.. I am sorry.. don't mean to bring every one down... Thanks for listening....

Hey everyone out there. I have a new angel and am a new angel. Angela is in the process of getting things approved and will have her consultation on April 24. Wish her well please. Hopefully I will do her justice as her angel. :)
