Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

(((((HUGS)))) Sorry you have to go through this when you're about to get your life back.
I expect your drs are thinking that the pituitary tumor may be triggering the seizures, if it's pretty large, the compression pressure it exerts on the brain cells surrounding the area may be setting you up for seizures, and set it off, when there's an added trigger that may even be not considered likely triggers.

It's hard not to have a clear reason why, and neither have medication that you can depend on, as even if you have something that helps control, it doesn't do all.
Hang in there, we're all thinking and rootin' and praying for you.

Doc I think its the tumor myself. Upon asking them they ask well what does the endiocrinologist say? I tell them they read his letter and go on. Perhaps hes one I need to get records sent again to the disablity office. They got them from him the first time. I think what Im going to do now since I thought about this whole thing yesterday and today is have them contact the hosptial again....... where I spent time in the first time it happend along with every Dr I seen during that stay and every dr I see now. They had them all from the first time I made the claim back in November and I have no idea if they are looking at all of those also or just the current ones in the past couple months. I will also be contacting each drs office that states I cannot work and ask them to have the physican write a letter stating why they feel I cannot work. Yes they fill out forms but I do think a seperate letter will help alot. Both of these physicans would be willing to do so im sure. Then have them send in all the paper work including the letter.

You know anytime when working at another office I delt with alot of diablity forms and made sure as soon as we got one we got it done faxed in mailed in and sent a copy to the patient and let them know with a phone call we got them and what we did. Somtimes when I even thought they were going overboard I would request the physican to write a letter stating why I thought it might help. It always did.

Im going to use some of my older knowlege on this and see if it helps any. All I can do is just that and pray that it works.

Thank you all again for the support and good words and vibes and prayers. Whew its exhausting getting so mad about this.

Sorry to hear of your troubles and I hope you get to the bottom of your seizures. Sounds like you have a full time job just filing for the disability. I've heard of some having to get lawyers to get things straight and then they may take you more seariously but like you have the $ for one of those since your outta work! Take one day at a time and bug those people every day until they get things right for you.
