Hi Joy -- I absolutely relate to how you must be feeling right now. You're afraid to hope too hard because you don't want to be too disappointed if things don't go your way, but you can't help but hope. At least that's how I felt waiting to hear from the ins co. I missed one of my six-month weigh-ins due to illness, which I *thought* was going to reset the clock to the following month. I had started in October and missed the December weigh-in completely. So I was sure the ins co was going to make me start over in January, and I wouldn't be finished with my six months until middle of July.

My PCP wrote a letter of explanation, and the surgeon's office submitted me after my May appointment, but I was *sure* the ins co wasn't going to approve me, and I was absolutely crazed waiting to hear. Took one week to the day to go through "nurse review," but I was approved! I'm hoping and praying for you to be approved too! Got everything crossed for ya!

Jody
