Hi There! I have sort of been lurking the board and thought I would say hi. I am 27 and work at a hospital. I will be having Gastric Bypass sometime this summer (Trying to save up vacation time) and have started the process. My insurance (bcbs) does not require any sort of diets so I am starting to schedule all of my appt. I am going to a pulmonogist,cardiologist and will be having a visit with the suregon soon. Dr. Gerald Cahill in Evergreen Park will be doing my surgery. I just wanted to say hi to everyone!!!

Having Children After Gastric Bypass
cutiepieinchi posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi Everyone! I am wondering how many of you ladies went on to have children after gastric bypass? My surgeon told me I can start trying 18-24 months from surgery. I ask because I recently saw a show in which a woman said she could not have any children post gastric bypass. Let me know your thoughts -

Gain Weight in Order to Get Approval?
cutiepieinchi replied to skinny_minnie_wannabe's topic in Insurance & Financing
My friend gained weight to get to a bmi of 40 (hers was 39!) and she was approved in no time. It seems as if the insurance companies are only concerned about the bmi and not the comorbidity . -
I hope you get your approval. Im pretty new to this. I have bcbs of il as well .
