This is my first post and I'm a new member today. My date for my surgery is January 18th. I began this journey last summer and started with the 6 counseling sessions that BCBS requires. When I was on my 3rd visit I found out that my husbands insurance was changing in 2011 and gastric bypass was no longer going to be covered. I was only going to be able to complete 4 of the 6 dietician visits so they would not approve the surgery. On the same day I found out that my own companies insurance was changing and taking out the surgery for 2011. I cried a lot that day. After a lot of soul searching and taking with my husband, I have decided to go ahead with the surgery and pay for it out of pocket. I'm worried about spending my families money and possibly failing. On the other hand, I want to become healthier for myself and family so the money doesn't matter. I've been overweight my whole adult life. I've done a lot of the diets and can lose weight but don't really change my habits so I gain it all back and more. I need a healthy lifestyle change that will last a lifetime.
