Hi there,

I'm Cate and this is the first post I'm making here, so hello! I've recently started this journey - did my seminar and had my first consult with the doc over the past two weeks. I have my UGI and nutritionist meeting this week and my psych next week, right before Christmas. Then everything's going to be sent off to insurance and we're going to play the dreaded waiting game, woo!

So, here's my question: I have Empire BCBS H M O. I haven't read about anything negative or positive about H M O plans so I was wondering if anyone has been approved or denied with H M O and what the factors are, ect. I know you guys aren't experts on this, but I'm so anxious! Haha I just want someone to tell me it's gonna work out!

Thanks for anything you guys can tell me.

Just wanted to be the first to say hi. I'm pre-op DOS 12/15/11

i can't answer your question but i wanted to tell you that you'll get a lot of good info - since you've been peeking you know that.

Insurance is mentioned a lot here, so i'm sure you'll get various answers.

good luck
