I just had the RNY gastric bypass last Wednesday, and could use a friend also =) I was shocked when I passed my psych eval!!
Anyway, hope to hear back from you,

HEY!! I am Priscilla. I want to get WLS done also. I am going to a seminar today. I am so excited but nervous too about what I am going to find out.

That totally stinks. My insurance was a BMI of 35 or more, or extenuating cir****tances.... I started out with a BMI of 59 (ridiculous, right?) And now, in just three months, I have lost 60 lbs and my BMI is now down to 48. I have a long ways to go, but  I can see I am making progress. I am still stuck at home most of the day, but over the last 3 days, I have tried to go run errands or just go out so I don't feel stuck in the house. Bandages came off on Monday, and I look like I have been in a knife fight =) It will all be worth it. I'm sorry that it sisn't work out for your insurance. It stinks that most insurances don't weigh the risk factor of being overweight i.e. heart attack, knee replacement,  diabetes, versus a one time payment. Anyway, do you have a facebook account? I spend mst of my internet time there.
Talk to you later,
Jenn

It went great! I am going to find out within about 2 weeks or so if my insurance will cover this

Just remember to breath. The insurance thing can be a rough roller coaster, but you'll make it through it! Good luck!
