I got a call today and have an appointment with the surgeorn, dietician, exercise physiologist AND the shrink next Wednesday! I can get it all done in one day and HOPEFULLY leave with a DATE! I'm a self-pay, so no insurance hoops to jump through! Sooooooooooooo very excited!

YES, it will be quite a day! The coordinator asked if I minded spending pretty much the entire day at the hospital......and truly, I'd rather spend one day than dragging it out driving back and forth trying to schedule everything between work and life......I'm eager to just get going! :biggrin::thumbup::thumbup:

Your blog put tears in my eyes......I have a daughter the same age....and look forward to her reaction as well! Congrats on the best hug ever!

Thinking about you, Mike! I'm a retired LEO.....spent 23 years in da biz..... Trusting that all went well today and you'll be on your way to new uniforms SOON.....

I can't speak to the specific insurance, but our policy also has a written exclusion to WLS. My understanding is that there is no way around it. The doctor's office said there isn't any way to challenge/appeal with an exclusion. Consequently, I am a self pay!

Northern Utah.....under three feet of snow right now.... :thumbup::mad2::mad2::tt1:

Looks like I found my thread! I'm not banded yet....have just started the process. I'm a freaking self-pay so hopefully the one up side of that is that it can move a little faster! Been an HD rider for about seven years.....on my second harley! Also work for the local dealership......and I'm soooooooooooo looking forward to the days that I will be able to pick anything up off the rack and it will FIT! Also looking forward to visiting with fellow bikers.....

Good Morning, Just took the first step in this journey yesterday....attended a seminar! I am looking forward to a new life....one that I control....what a concept! I am a self pay, so anticipate that the process will move fairly quickly.....not excited about spending that much money....but I keep telling myself that it's an INVESTMENT.....in ME! Looking forward to 'meeting' many of you and sharing successes along the way!
