Just read your blog, Libby. You are doing so well!!!! I'm glad your surgery experience went so smoothly and you are beating this obesity thing!!! Keep goin' strong!!!!!

Hi,

Glad to hear you got approved....I am patiently waiting for Wellmark to change their outdated policy. Dr. Cahalan is a good surgeon and I am sure you will do fine. I don't think that he has done that many, but it isn't a real difficult procedure from what I am reading. I would love to know how you are doing and when you have your surgery.

Hey just heard yesterday that the sleeve is likely in review with Wellmark. Of course no one will talk specifically. Hoping to hear something by the end of the year. But their last policy was revised in Sept 09. I'm crossing my fingers for a change this fall!!!!!!

I am a previous lap bander (removed March 2010)....I am hoping that I won't have to jump through too many hoops since I qualified once for WLS. I have been gaining since last November when my slip was identified and my high blood pressure is back...I guess that may be a good thing in the long run.

Take care....and good luck!!!!
