Ins requests have been fulfilled.. I think!
I went in on Wed. morn and had my Full history and Physical done and
it was a new PCP for me and she would not write the letter of
psychological stability because I had only seen her once (my ins does
not require me to go to a psychiatrist) so I called my previous Dr
and he would not do it he said he was not qualified to do it but he
did send my weight loss attempts with him to them. I then called my
Plastic Sergion (he has done a breast reduction, hernia repair and
Adominal wall repair on me) and asked if he could do it his head
nurse said she didn’t see a reason why he wouldn’t and took all the
info down and said she would take care of it. I would think he would
be the most qualified of my medical Dr’s (and so does she) because of
the procedures he has done for me.
Wed afternoon my PCP called me and gave me my test results TSH levels
were normal, cholesterol was 228 (high I figured so) and my sugar she
said was high 118, she also said the WLS would help these numbers.
She was all for the WLS she said she has had patients that have had
it and the quality of life was so much better and she would send my
info right away.
Thurs I had my meeting for the nutritional eval. Jennifer at BTC was
so nice and very informative but I had already read everything here
that she told me (THANKS GUYS!!!!)
So I’m going to call on Mon Morn and see if all my paper work has
been faxed in and if not I will be calling!!! I also wrote a letter
myself to the ins company explaning how I feel and what I have done
and for over 10yrs!!!
So now I’m crossing my fingers and can’t wait for an answer!!!!
Waiting is not one of my strong points!!!! I’ll let you know as soon
as I know something please say a few prayers for me and I’ll keep you
ALL in mine!!!!

Hi Gloria,
Congrats! Keep up the great work! I look forward to

CONGRATS!!! I am at a standstill and have been for about 2 months and I am only
