Hello there,

    Congratulations! On getting approved and sticking to it. I am also having trouble with my insurance. I heard about Lindstrom's and seen on their website their in california. Do you happen to know if you have to live in California to get their help? 

Thanks so much!!!!

I've only heard of people having to wait 5 years to be covered. Even if they tried to say WLS is a pre-existing it should not go back 11 years!

My story of WLS, Lymphedema and Lipedema is currently on the home page and here!  You won't want to miss it!

I just found your post as I am also looking at a DS with FEPBLUE (Standard).  Did you ever get any information?

My husband's job was eliminated-COBRA ends in August. We're being told that I cannot get coverage through any of the major insurance companies because I've had WLS.  I had Roue-en-Y in Oct of 2001--no complications-have just kept of 130 lbs for 11 years. Had a full physical this month.  No prescription meds-no health problems other than borderline high cholesterol and I was told to take OTC krill oil to bring it down, not RX statins.

Would I have the surgery again? Yes-just wish I had known this would be one of the results. If you don't disclose the surgery and they find out they drop you anyway.

Now I go into temporary insurance until January and pray that Obamacare kicks in.
