I GOT GREAT NEWS

OK I AM SO HAPPY.... I CALLED MY INSURANCE YESTERDAY.... WAS TOLD THAT MY INSURANCE MIGHT HAVE PUT A HOLD ON PAYING FOR GASTRIC BYPASS TEMPORARILY, BUT I WAS ASSURED YESTERDAY AS LONG AS I FOLLOW MY GUIDELINES WITH THE 6 MONTH SUPERVISED DIET, AND THE USUAL OTHER THINGS, THAT MY INSURANCE WILL BE PAYING FOR THE SURGERY, THEN GOT EVEN BETTER NEWS. I WILL ONLY HAVE TO BE PAYING $700 FOR THE SURGERY AND THEN THE INSURANCE WILL PAY 100% AFTER THAT. I AM SO HAPPY I AM JUMPING FOR JOY!!!!! I GO TO MY PCP THIS WEEK AND THIS MAKES MONTH 4!!!!!!! 2 MORE MONTHS AND I AM READY TO GO! LOOK OUT LOSING SIDE, HERE I COME SOON!!!! HUGS LORI

That is great news, Lori! I found out yesterday what I would have to pay out of pocket if approved for surgery. My oop max is $1000. I was surprised that it wouldn't be more. I will be starting my 6 month diet now. Kills to be at the beginning, just have to keep in mind that there is an end in sight. T--resa

I KNOW 6 MONTHS SOUNDS AWFUL, BUT TO BE HONEST IT IS FLYING BY FOR ME.. OF COURSE I AM PLANNING MY MOTHERS WEDDING, SO THAT IS HELPING, BUT HAVE TAKEN THE TIME I HAVE TO GET THINGS IN ORDER... SUCH AS GETTING THE HOUSE IN ORDER, NOW I AM GOING TO START NEXT MONTH GETTING THE HUBBYS AND KIDS FOOD READY AND FREEZING FOR WHEN I HAVE SURGERY. THANK GOD THEY LOVE CASSEROLES, LOL. THEY ARE SO EASY TO MAKE AND EASY TO FREEZE. SO THEY WILL BE ALL SET FOR WHEN I GO IN AND GET BACK. STARTING NOW ON STOCKING UP ON BROTHS, AND CRYSTAL LIGHT. I KNOW I SEEM SO PREPARED, LOL, BUT I AM SO UNORGANIZED LATELY! I WISH YOU THE BEST HUN!!! IT WILL BE OVER BEFORE YOU KNOW IT.

Hi Lori, I am on my 4th month also going thru the 6 months of dieting. I have not lost one pound! I am afraid they will deny me for that now! This will be my third attempt at getting the surgery! I hope the third time is the charm! Good luck to you! Karen
