hi Rita  glad you checked in  sometimes this board goes fast and other times creeps along.....I'm Barbara  I had RNY  March 18 08

We have BCBS of Illinois through Wal-Mart and they did not pay because there was an exclusion by the employer.  A lot will depend on what your policy says. 

I was self pay and had surgery in Columbia by Dr Glen Strickland.

Good Luck

Gongrats  I know how excited you are. 

Best of luck to you.

Hey Guys, I haven't posted in quite a while, I'm about 18 months out of surgery, and have lost 80% of my excess body weight and up until recently have been feeling great.  I have been having severe abdominal pains that I thought were dietary related until I had my checkup with Dr Bour,  I'm told it could be an internal hernia.  I go for my CT tmrw, but I'm wandering how soon will they schedule surgery if it is a hernia and will they take my gallbladder as well.  From everything I've read I'm under the impression that it will need immediate surgery, but that has yet to be confirmed.  Any advice would be greatly helpful!!


Thanks

Tanah
