magnificent2015

I was 333 and am now 156, so it's not necessarily unrealistic!

I'm out of Rhode Island. Surgery hopefully *fingers crossed* by Doctor Pohl sometime this summer

I'm going to make sure that my current coverage doesn't make any adjustments to our policy for next year. I know my surgeon was trying to get our employer to cover it. I'm ensured by the same hospital that would be performing the surgery. So I will make sure that there isn't an change to our policy for next year. I would much rather stay covered under my dads plan, then have to actually go out & get my own.

I have about 150 pounds to lose ... I'm currently about 290-300lbs. I was denied by my insurance back in July due to not having been on a 12 month supervised diet ... That has to be cosigned monthly by my primary care. I currently have BCBS Charter Care in RI, but my insurance is actually located in North or South Carolina.
I'm wondering if anyone has dropped their primary insurance to get Obamacare. Rhode Island is one of the states that does cover bariatric surgery. I'm assuming that they follow the 6 month nutritionist appointments (which I already have completed along with my EGD & psych eval. & sleep study). I would have continued but since those 6 months weren't validated by my primary care they are pretty much useless for my current insurance.
Again, has anyone dropped their current insurance to get obamacare to get bariatric surgery covered?

I'm still waiting on my approval. I have about 150 to lose ... Ideally. I'll settle with losing about 120ish

Vsg 12.12.13, 5'8" tall; hw 293 surgery 240 current 165-169 original goal was 175 got down to 154 but too low for my taste. my happiest zone is 161-165. I enjoy practicing several types of yoga(hot, iyengar, power, vinyasa, gentle, yin), pilates, spin classes and barre ????????????????????????
