I found out last week that my insurance denied my surgery due to the fact they claimed that surgeon's office didn't submit all required paperwork. Office resubmitted everything and I called this morning and spoke with the insurance company and they confirmed with me that they do now have everything that they need to review my case for approval and I should have an answer in about two days. I am hoping for an approval, can't see any reason why they would not approve me, jumped through every hope they held out for me and now that I am officially diagnosed with sleep apnea that gives me a comorbidity that will help my case (I don't have high blood pressure or diabetes, just arthritis in my knees due to my weight).

I meant to say I jumped through every hoop , not hope!

Kelly- I saw you wrote "hope" instead of "hoop" but thought it was appropriate anyway! You have to keep up the hope going thru all the hoops. Can't wait to hear you've been approved!

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
