Hello Everybody!!!

hi Everyone!!! My name is Karen and I'm new to the boards. I went for an informational meeting with Dr. Cooperstone last year; but my Aetna had a policy exclusion. Now, I am asking for an explanation of benefits to see if I have any recourse. I am also looking into other health benefit plans my company is offering. I may have to switch policies if I can find one that covers WLS. I want to be healthy! Looking forward to getting to know you all!: Karen

Hello Karen... Welcome to the NY Board. I hope you get your insurance straightened out and start moving on with the process. It is a long process but SO worth it. Good luck to you! Lori

Karen, Welcome to the NY board, you have come to the right place. So many helpful and supportive people here. They become your 2nd family.... hang in there and do your research, you will work hard at this but it is so worth it when you start to lose and see a brand new YOU!! Keep us posted hun and welcome again Debra P

Hi Karen, and welcome! Good for you - I admire that you're not taking no for an answer. Wishing you all the best on your quest, Mary Mc
