Ok, guess what? New date, June 18th

Hi! I was in the same boat! I have the BCBS state health plan. They denied me for my sleeve, but I am having the gastric. It is another alternative to get the weight off until you can have the RNY-the only problem would be the insurance company! I wish you the best of luck. I totally understand it is frustrating for us that have high BMI's, but it will happen for you! 

Hello MsPrinecess:   Stay encouraged they know what is best.  I will be praying for you I had the gastric bypass on sept 30, 08 and I have done everything they have told me to do.  Have not had any problems.  Dumped once and never again.  Just take it one day at a time.  Remember your not alone.
