My back is feeling a bit better.  I went to the chiro and she said my L5 disc was inflamed and so were my back muscles.  I've been trying to move around to loosen up the muscles, but it still hurts.  I go back in in an hour for another adjustment.

I also decided to call the bariatric center, even though I'm always terrified of what they'll say.  It's been awhile since I took them my new insurance card and I haven't heard anything.  I was transferred to the insurance lady and she was like, "why do you think the insurance company's answer will be different this time?"  I was like, "uhhh, because it's a completely different company??"  Apparently no one told her I had new insurance.  So once we figured that out she was like, "oh god, give me your number so I can check with you tomorrow!"  Fabulous.  I'm glad I called.
I'm relieved, but I'm also pissed.  I called the front desk a few weeks ago and wanted to make sure Pam, (the insurance chick) knew that I had called the new company to see what their requirements were, yadda yadda.  The first step is the doctor has to fill out a form citing medical necessity and they have to make sure I've jumped through all of my hoops.  The woman I talked to just said, "I'm sure they know all that already, thanks for calling."  I figured they had everything in order, but instead I just wasted another two months waiting.
