Hi guys! I’m new here, and I’m in the phase of my journey where I am researching and deciding if wls is the right choice for me. I’m 29, 233 lbs, 5’5” tall, and have two co-morbidities (high blood pressure, high cholesterol) and a super high risk of diabetes. I know my insurance would cover my surgery, but I’m hearing things from my husband and mom that make me nervous to even get a consultation with a surgeon... hubby feels like it would be ‘un-natural’ and that hard work and perseverance will fix my issues with weight. Maybe it’s because he is from out of the country and has also never been over-weight? My mom was quietly supportive when I told her I am considering surgery, but she has also never been over-weight (she actually had bulemia wheb she was a teen); but she said she would worry that if I have yo-yo dieted til now, how would I be able to stick to a lifestyle change like surgery and all the changes it demands? I’m sorry this is long, I just need to see what people who have actually gone through what I am think... thanks!

Thanks! 😊

Thank you so much! I’m in IL too!

Hi guys! I just got insured by my new employer and I have BCBS PPO Options. Have any of you guys been covered with this plan? I’m just in the research phase still, really, since I haven’t had insurance til yesterday lol but honestly, finances scare me more than the actual surgery! thanks! Christina B
