I'm FINALLY here in FL!!!!

Hi everyone...I'm 2 weeks new to Pensacola and am having my eval in 2 weeks....have a GREAT WLS insurance co...they only require you to have a BMI of 40+. If under 40, U need 1 co-morbid issue. They sent ME the paperwork they need and even INCLUDED the codes for the doctor. They pre-approve in less then 1 week. NEVER thought my chance would come but it's finally happening! Would love to meet people here. If there is anything planned socially, let me know! I'd love to meet you guys, you're a great group of people. Laurie

First, welcome to Floridal . Congratulations on getting your evaluations set up. You are among the fortunate ones, as I was, to not have to jump thru hoops to get approved. Good luck as you journey toward a healthier you.! LuvitsunnyVB~lo/goal

Hi and welcome to the area! Pensacola is a great place. I hope you like it here. Sounds like things are falling into place for you as far as the insurance. That can be a big hurdle. Good luck on your eval! Which doctor did you decide upon? Keep us posted as you make your journey. Betti
