still waiting...
well as of last week my claim is still pending w/ the insurance. i recieved a letter requesting additional information and i'm getting the feeling i may be denied rather than approved. the reason is for the simple fact i never tried prescribed diet pills and b/c i don't have a full six months of recorded diet documentation for the last six months. the truth is... i was the one who did not want to take diet pills and my doctor and i have been working seriously for the past two years on my weight and no i did not weigh in w/ him every week and i guess the two years of hard work is nothing w/ out the weekly weigh in. i'm kinda bummed but its in Gods hands. so my spirit in down today but tomarrow may be better.....
we'll just have to see whats to come.

Hang in there!
Don't give up hope! The insurance company has to make sure that you have tried all other options. You also always have the right to appeal, if you have to. Have you been using any kind of online weight or diet tracking? Like a food journal and weight tracker through here or through Weight Watchers? If you have 6 months of food journals and weigh-ins that can help establish your efforts for the past 6 months. I had been using WW online and turned in 2 months of my food journals and weekly weights to my surgeon's office. They used it for documentation for insurance. Would it do you any good to call them and ask if there is any additional documentation they need?
Your efforts have NOT been for nothing! You have been working and trying to improve your health and your habits. You have been trying to take care of yourself and that is NEVER for nothing.
Don't give up! You are nowhere near out!
