Hey folks, I'm a newbie here and decided to introduce myself. I jumped on here for some encouragment and hopefully to make a few acquaintances that are going through the same thing as I. I live in Jacksonville, but am originally from Detroit. You can read more about me in my profile. Just wanted to say hi!!!!

Welcome to the site!

I am also in Jacksonville and I share your pain of having BCBS that wouldn't cover WLS.  I had a job that I absolutely loved, but the insurance wouldn't have covered WLS.  I was working tons of overtime to save up for the surgey when I was let go. 

Everything happens for a reason..now I have a job that I hate and  barely pays the bills BUT the insurance covers my surgery!

I wish you the best of luck and I hope that you can work it out somehow to get the surgery.  I was nearly ready to just take out a loan to get it done.

Hi Crazy

I am new here as well.
I am going through the process of getting everything together for surgery and now waiting for a schedule date.

Good luck
