It's Always Good With Bad...

Got the information back about our insurances... and it's a no go. I think I would be more upset if we hadn't already planned on self paying before calling the insurance company again. Our insurance complany only covers Gastric Bypass and inhouse only. Which figures, because it's Group Health. So that's the bad news, the good new/great news is that now that we know we are self paying, I havemade our appointments for consults!! June 29th it's go time!! I'm a little bummed Ty and I are going to be laying down 30,000 dollars, but I couldn't think of a better reason!

 

Ty is more on board than ever, he has already given up soda, he is on 4 days, no soda. I'm so proud of him. Even though he only drinks diet, but still, a huge step in the right direction.

 

I'm not sure how to bring up the subject to my friend from yesterday, we were drinking and now I'm not sure how to talk about it again. Maybe wait until she asks how it is going. Maybe after my appointment.

 

I'm just happy because it feels more real now. Now it's time to buckle down, save our monies, and follow through with everything. Sorry this is so short, just had to share the news.

 

Until next time.

30 thousands not to bad my husband and I paid out close to 40 + flight and hotel for us and 2 caretakers as they wouldn't let us just have one due to both of us having surgery one right after the other. But right now I can say each day I feel it was more and more worth it. Love our bands. Best of luck and I'm also thankful my husband and I did it together.

That's great! A lot of people are trying to steer us away from getting it done at the same time, they think that I will have problems with him losing more weight faster than me. I think (well I would like to think :) ) that I'm going to be happy for both of us no matter what because even if it takes me a bit longer, the end results will be that we are both healthy. I just have this fear that we aren't going to be able to do things with our future children, and that scares me. I'm glad you have a success story with having it done at the same time, you are my inspiration! Thank you!
