brandnewending got a reaction from Weighting2BeFree in Got told by a coworker today that I'm taking the "easy way"
I am exactly one month out of my surgery (RNY) and if this is what anyone calls "easy" then I must be crazy!
I needed to do this for health reasons (many of them) and NOT to fit in a bikini...
Both my daughters were adopted, and I heard comments like this about our choice to adopt. We had it easy....no labor, morning sickness, or stretch marks.... REALLY???
6 years of infertility, medical testing and procedures, mountains of paperwork and studies to be approved. 13 month wait to be united with our daughter... not to mention over $25,000 and a 2 week trip to China to pick her up.
Easy? HELL NO!
Worth every bit? HELL YES!
I feel the same way about this journey... it is what is right for ME, and that's all that matters!

brandnewending got a reaction from sstevisonmard in BC/BS MI - Time Frame & Requirements Questions and more!
Hi Butterfly512-
I am also in a similar situation. I also have BC/BS MI, They did enforce the 6 mo of doctors
visits before I was approved. I also have several weight-related health issues, but they wouldn't waive that requirement.
I had my pre-op appt. on 4/7, with a scheduled surgery date of 4/13, but they delayed it, and requested a stress test before I could proceed. So now I am waiting again!
Yes it is very frustrating, but my point is, it will happen when the time is perfect. (at least that's what I keep telling myself)
Where are you having your surgery? I am going to the Barix Clinic, in Ypsilanti.
Best of luck to you!
