Perhaps Phyllis can share the recipe! Barbara Mum to Nicky 16 wocf and Kristy 13 wcf (Australia) > Welcome Hal!! > It's great to have another old timer join us. You and n are great inspiration for those of us with younger kids. (OK so mine isn't so young anymore!) Guys, we are lucky to have Hal. He's a great guy!! and his wife Phyllis is reported to make great strudel.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 Lynn, I too am realtively healthy and was approved. The only condition that I have now is hypothyroidism and I did not have that at time of approval. They approved me solely on my weight. I am a lot heavier than you, but you still fit within the criteria for BMI requirements. I agree with you that I did not get my hopes up until I got my approval. But believe me, if they deny you, you should fight with everything that you have if you truly think this is the answer for you. That is exactly what I was prepared to do. It seems like it takes forever to get through the insurance mess, but here I am just 5 days out and it seems like it was just yesterday I was working with the insurance company. Good luck to you. I hope that your approval process is uneventful. Dora in Tennessee Open/Lap RNY 9/20/04 Vanderbilt Hospital Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 Lynn, Welcome to the group. I did not have " a lot wrong " with me either. I do have hypothyroidism and was over 100 pounds over weight and more than 40% body fat. But my father, all my grandparents, aunts and uncles all have diabetes and most of them have high blood pressure as well. Also, I had been trying to get pregnant and was not able to and my GYN said it was due to my weight because fat cells effect your homones, etc. So try not to worry too much. Whatever is meant to be will be. in Delaware Lap RNY 3/10/04 261/164/120 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
