  1. The first place I wanted to go through has you find out if WLS will be covered. They told me it was an exclusion. When I asked the surgeons office if they would try to get it approved they said it wouldn’t happen and they won’t even try. I keep reading about people whose surgeons offices have all appealed again and again and their insurance finally says yes if they go through 6 months of stuff. I’m trying to find out if PacificSource is a hard NO or has anyone had success in getting it covered? Thanks!
    Your employer prob excluded it to save money. Talk to HR to see if you can pay higher premium.

  2. Hello. This is my first post, so I hope I’m putting this in the correct area. Introductions: I’m Jenn. I’m 36 years old, I’ve been married to an amazing man for 18 years, I have two kids (17 & 16 y/o), I’m a NICU nurse, and I’m 5’1” and 231 lbs with a BMI of 43.6. I’ve had two knee surgeries, I have heart issues, and just got diagnosed with sleep apnea. I’ve decided to move forward with surgery and I’m a bit nervous. My insurance requires a 6 month “medically supervised” weight loss program and this month will be my last appointment with my doctor before I can get my referral to the surgeon. I have a few questions for y’all: what helped you make the decisions between VGS and a traditional bypass? Also, I’m having trouble telling my friends in fear that I will be judged- which is weird because my friends are not the type of people who judge! But I think I don’t want them to seem me in a different light I suppose. How did you overcome these fears? Thanks for the advice!


    Don't tell anyone except spouse and that's my advice.
