OMG.  I just realized this is actually my 6th!!!!! month.  I had requested my medical records and I was doing some counting and this month will be my 6th one.  OMG I can't believe this is actually in reach.

Hi, I just started my quest for surgery. My insurance company does not cover this. What insurance do you have? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks everyone for the support.  Honestly this time has gone by sooo fast.  I haven't even done the stuff I was supposed to do yet.. like pick out a surgeon, go to the seminar, support groups, testing, etc... sooo.. I've still got plently of work to do...

My best advice would be to find out who you can talk to in your company's HR dept. about what your options are for the next calendar year.  That's what happened to me.  My employer (the state of GA) did not cover it at first but picked it up this year.  I went ahead and started my 6 month diet as soon as I heard the news.  If you already see a dr. on a regular basis began talking to him or her about wls and make sure he/she is documenting what you need.   Good luck and don't EVER give up.
