Hi all. I'm just starting my WLS journey, again, and decided to come back and rejoin the forums. I've tried for WLS twice before but both times have found that my unsirance didn't cover WLS. The first time it was my fault for not checking before starting the process. The second time I did call my insurance and was told it was covered, only to find out 6 weeks before my surgery date that it wasn't covered under our plan. My husband's employer (a hospital) FINALLY covers WLS and I'll hopefully be making my appt to see the surgeon soon. The only thing I'm sort of frustrated about is that the insurance only covers surgery with the surgeon at his hospital. Luckily all the reviews I've read have been good but I do wish I had some options.

 

I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone and hopefully I'll be on the other side of WLS before too long.
