I need some good news

I am becoming obsessive about getting this surgery. I feel like I have spent enough of my time being overweight and I am ready to not be obese anymore. I know I shouldn't rush it. But I can't help it.   So far: I picked a doctor, then unpicked him after hearing how terrible he is in surgery (having to convert several laps into opens due to his errors).   my husband's insurance does not cover any wls   found a great job w/benefits didn't get it   NOW i have an interview for another job,

one more time with feeling

First of all, i have been very sick the past few days. This has been no fun. So I did a bit of research about the next doctor on my list and she really doesn't have much experience with lap-band. So that knocks her off my list. So I am on a mass search for a doc. I believe i have found one. I love his credentials so far. Now its just calling to set up the consult.   I am just disheartened. I need to get a job that will cover this. I HATE HATE that my husband's policy excludes wls. I know i'm

I liked him so much.   So now i'm going to the next doc on my list. Which she has also worked with and said was a very good doctor and a woman so that's two good things in her favor.

Well one of the jobs i applied for at the hospital got forwarded to the hiring manager so hopefully i will be getting a call soon for an interview.   It is actually a part time job WITH the benefits i need. This would work out perfectly. I can work this job earn a l

October Road

So I am sort of disheartened. I went and got a copy of my plan and yea my insurance plan through bcbs does in fact exclude bariatric surgery. So now i'm trying to figure out all the options. Right now, i'm trying to either a. get a job at the hospital b/c the hospital does have insurance to cover and if i get on at that particular hospital i don't have to do the pre-op diet for Dr. Mailapur.   the other option is getting a part time job with insurance that will cover it. I sent out mass resume
