Topic: RE: Insurance
Hi, I am currently working for the old Beverly, known as Golden living now. NO, they do not cover the surgery, the insurance is the same....BCBS of California. I have already tried to get them to change and they told me they won't. I'm sorry to bear bad news, it was devastating for me too.

Dear Donna,
The best thing you can do is call your insurance company and find out. I waited 7 years and changed jobs to do it. I am in the process of all the paperwork being done for my inusrance company. I have BCBS of Minnesota. WLS is covered with them. I wish you well-and most of all, do not give up hope!
Thanks , Chris

Topic: RE: I will not be fat again!!
I WILL NOT BE FAT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is my motto too. Stress can be a big factor in eating wrong and regaining. My life right now is total stress and chaos. I have put about 5 pounds back on. But I have gotten back on top of it. I don't really go with the Plataeu Buster thing, but I am sort of doing it, (a modified version) of it to get me back to eating right. I am 14 months out, and it seems that others at this point are having some difficulties as well. Keep working on staying on track. Pray for me as I am praying for you.

Hi Donna
I work in a nursing home but we get our insurance through my hubby, we have BC/BS of Iowa. He works for Frenchman Valley Coop, he runs the liquid fertilizer blend plant in Imperial. The nursing home where I work has BC/BS of Nebraska and they do not cover the surgery( I think this is from Vetters who own the home not the insurance company)
