Patty,

You will be in my thoughts. Now that Medicare has stated that

obesity is a disease not a lifestyle you would think it would be

easier to get approval. Don't forget about the backaches, knee

pains and I didn't get obesity related diseases until I turned 50 so

for sure you are looking at problems down the road. When I started

having problems I said, there are large women in my family and no

one has diabetes, colon polys and other bad things. My sainted

doctor (LOL) explained that I was making history! Soon after other

relatives started having health problems so I was just the first

which maybe you too. And don't forget how hard it is to keep up

with your kids with the weight. I am getting so nervous for you.

Good luck Patty and we will pray the Doctor finds something that

will change your Insurance Co.'s denial into an APPROVAL!!!

Hey ,

I am right there with you and my knee's are a knock'n! I have

surgery on the 7th and today did my pre-op labs and stuff. Made it

all more real to me. But with faith we can do it and try to keep

calm. I ask at my surgeon's office today for something to ease the

nerves and was told he doesn't do that...LOL!!! Oh well if I dont

get much sleep then it will be easier to pass out on Tuesday...LOL!

Good luck by the way getting a date for surgery and it will be okay!

Hugs, in AL.
