HI Angel: I am so sorry to learn about your father. Cancer is tough but always remember, your father will always be with you, if not in the flesh, in his spirit! (((((HUGS)))))

Angel~ Thinking and praying for you and your father. Please remember, if things do not take the path you would prefer, your father will still be by your side in spirit and he will see your progress on the losing side. Take care.

3-18-03 Yesterday I called my insurance company to see about surgery. They sent it in on 3-10-03 and it got sent for a review on 3-13-03. I am going to wait for a week and call again if I have not heard anything yet. I really HATE to wait. I wish that I could call daily, but I know I can't. For now I will go.

3-11-03 I feel lost like my mind was set on the lap band or the VBG. When my insurance said no to the lap band I started to look more into the VBG then I started to talk with people about the gastric bypass. Now I can't seem to weigh my pro's and con's. I just don't want to have the big incision or the dumping going on. Those are the only two things holding me back from the gastric bypass. What do I do? My dr. sent in for the VBG now I am worried that I really might want the gastric bypass what will they do and say? Will they be mad at me??? For now I'll go by be back soon. God Bless

3-10-03 I have been sad for the past few days, but I want to thank some really nice people Helen and Jeanette. They gave me info, websites to visit, and their advice (I love). I'm feeling better and hope to keep talking with them. I still have more to learn about what my body needs to become a loser. Sometimes I fell a little rushed when talking to the people at my dr.'s office. I don't want to bother them, I just have some questions. I wanted the lap band, but am now looking into the VBG and or the gastric bypass. I am always open for advice. Thank-you all very much and I hope to be a loser soon. I really feel GREAT!!!!!! God Bless you all. Angel

3-08-03 Last night and today have been very hard for me. I kept the faith from the 26th of Feb till now when my insurance said no, but now I don't feel there is any hope. I was up all night trying to think of what to do to get my insurance to change their minds about the lap band. I hear very good things about it, and not so good about the VBG. My husband (my best friend) noticed that since the letter saying no I have been eatting alot. He asked if I am trying to eat myself to death. I told him no. I didn't even realize that I was eatting like that. I feel like I'm stuck and I'm scared to make any move that it will be wrong. I want to call my insurance company, but don't due to the felling of making the wrong move. I hope that when the lawyer calls or emails me back he can give me back the hope that I have lost!!!! For now I'll go, I just need to think.

3/3/03 My dr. sent my info to my insurance on 2/18/03 and I got a letter from them on 2/26/03. I had alot of hope that they would say yes to the lap band. However they didn't! They said that it's not medically necessary. I am 27, BMI 48.5. I have HTN,exertional dyspnea,DJD hip,knee,and back, acid reflux,sleep apnea,chronic heartburn,chronic lower back pain, depression, and a hard hard time breathing. I'm so upset! If they said no will they say yes later? What can I do? I'm really in the dumps!

I went to see Dr. Chua and he said that I would be a good person to get the lapband. He sent my info into my insurance and I can't wait to start calling. I am very excited!!! I really can't wait to be a loser. Wish me luck and I will post again soon.
