I am so sorry to hear of your story from the doctors to the insurance situation. Please..DON"T GIVE UP! There are other doctors out there that don't send you home to lose weight first. If you could do that..you sure wouldn't be at their office! dah! Also...there are other insurance companies that do pay for it. Start working with the employer personnel office to get a better plan with another company. The employer might find it will save them money to go with another carrier. Hang in there...DON"T GIVE UP!

Hoping you get approval soon. Welcome to the boards. Try & get a pic up for recognition. It helps when I scan the boards for familiar faces because I don't always have time to read every post. Best wishes!

The days ahead of you are full of great possibilities--and life's great unknowns. But the good news is that God holds tomorrow in His hand, and in His unending faithfulness gives you not only strength for today, but bright hope for tomorrow. God bless you as you embark on this new path for health and happiness. Our prayers are with you for a successful surgery and a full recovery!

Hi Maryalice, Well, I don't know that much about angels either. They appear to be someone that sends copies of the surgery page with updated well wishes from the other on the web site and check in with your doctor to be sure that you are okay through surgery and keep track of you to be sure that you are okay and just give general support. I guess an angel is what you make one to be. I would think that a good angel would be one that is in the same are as you are so they can visit or come to you at some point but with today's electronic life I guess it isn't required. Now, personally. I'm a recent widow. My husband of eighteen years died a couple of years ago and left me alone. I have no other family in the area, live alone and have very few close friends. But one thing I do know. You need support through this process. So get out there and find a support group. This is not the time to hang back and hope for someone to find you in the dark corner and coax you out. Get into a support network of some kind. A church group is also a good place to find people who care. I work weekends so I'm not able to attend services on Sunday, and regret the loss. But please, my friend, find a place, person or group that you have comfort and advice. This website is a start but it is not a substitute for a friendly voice on the phone or a helping hand in need. And while I'm handing out unasked for advice..when are you going to finish your profile... =)
