How much did you have to pay out of pocket for your surgery? I have a flex spending account that I can start and I want to use it for my co-pays and such just want to know what the average is. So that I can make sure I have enough!

To all of my friends who were at support group last night, I did call Dr. Huang first thing this morning. I need to go have an Upper G.I. Series done to see if I have a blockage that needs repair. Thanks to you all, for your guidance last night, your experience really makes a difference. Since I don't really know what is normal or not. Will keep you posted on the results asI know them.

I am nervous now! Waiting to hear from EMMC to see if I am eligible (by their standards) to have WLS! Cannot wait to start the Journey with EMMC!

I hope things move along quickly for you, but like others said, be patient, and count on at least 6 months before surgery.
I know the feeling of wanting things done NOW.  It has been over a week since my docs office tried to submit my stuff to my insurance only to find out that when my hubby's insurance changed, someone messed up, and didn't carry over the gastric stuff.  Sooooo, I've been bugging the human resources lady, and the person who messed up, for over a week now.  I know that mistakes happen, and have tried to be patient, but when she gets on the phone and lies to get me off her back, I get mad.  He mistake is holding me up.
Good luck with surgery, and keep us posted.
