Thank you all so much for your supplies. You guys gave me some great ideas. I will be calling my surgeons office tomorrow to apprise them of the my current situation and hopefully they can lead me in the right direction. I did find out that the insurance that I am getting does cover weight loss surgery, if it is medically necessary...which it is, and my work is NOT excluding it on their plan. They were aware prior to talks with the insurance broker that I was in the process and they asked about the wls coverage and were clear that they wanted no exclusion on the policy. So those are two good things. My main concern is that the dr. and the hospital are out of network for this plan. Well, the hospital is in network if it was an outpatient surgery. My surgeon however requires an overnight stay. I wonder if that is up for debate or not. So, I went to BS web site and he is covered under BS...but just not my specific plan. I wonder if that website is updated regularly and maybe he takes it now. I guess I will know tomorrow if I am able to get through to the insurance specialist at the office. If both the surgeon and the hospital were in network than it would be covered 100%. LOL...I know I am not that lucky.
I went for my blood work today and plan to keep my psych appt and nut appointment in the next two weeks. Just gonna take it one day at a time.
If I had any doubts about wanting this surgery or not....having the thought of it maybe NOT happening....cleared up any doubts.
Thank you again for your support!! Have a wonderful day tomorrow...as it's late and I am sure that you are all zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Ciao
