Thanks duckydoom.. You've been extremely helpful. I really need to look in detail to what type of insurance I have because I'm not even sure.. If its a PPO or ***. I hate sounding so ignorant! :/ I just know I have my insurance through my company and when I was looking into the policy I found a section regarding bariactic surgery and it said that it DID cover it. Have my fingers crossing and hoping I can get it done soon.

Yaaayy! I'm so excited! Finally heard back from dr office today (after being impatient, it's just been two days) and my insurance covers the surgery. I have to see a nutritionist and have a psych eval for when they approve it. And criteria bmi >35 with one or more co morbidity! My bmi is 38.4 and I have hypertension, so I hope this process goes fast! And I have a scheduled surgery date by July.

I have a PPO so I didn't need my PCP I made my appointment with the Surgeon and got all the info I needed and started my journey. Good luck with your everything!
