Dinah,

I have part of my packet done (patient letter, contacts, PCP approval,

family support letter, physical) I'm still waiting on Insurance to make a

decision (pretty sure it will not go my way) My PCP is waiting to see what my

Ins. does before he writes support letter as he wants to have me take a

stress test plus get EKG and bloodwork before he OK's me for surgery, plus i

still have to get the dreaded pap test, sooooooo I'm still in the waiting

game!! I'm happy for your approval and I wish you an easy surgery!!!!!!!

Thanks, Dinah! I hope they approve me, but my BMI is just 40, so we'll see.

has asthma which was a definite deciding factor, especially since she's

been hospitalized for a week, with a severe attack, (what a fun week we had

bunking together for that!)

The final lady who approved was very nice on the phone then, so once I

get to that level of the appeal I'll call her. I'll also have my hubby, " the

negotiator " call her. lol If all else fails, I will hire an attorney to send

a letter. If THAT fails, I will self-pay. So, there is a light at the end

of the tunnel, I just was hoping to go with and to get off this eating

binge!!!

I never thought of the stereo. I just kind of wandered around saying,

gosh...gosh...gosh. Well something like that anyway. I have to iron

out some other things before setting a date. But I am ready! Gosh, it

is strange the way things work out. I always say I'm not religious

but I did kinda talk to God this past week or so and maybe, just

maybe, he heard me. I'm sure he is the one who spoke to !

Where are you in the process, Kathy?

Dinah,

Congratulations! I know just how excited you are. I thought my insurance

would never come through and when they finally did, I got so excited that I

didn't know what to do next. Why don't you try for August 2, that's when

I'm going. Good luck whenever you go.
