for insurance?

How far along are you?

what's your story?

I dont know if this will take off, but it'd be nice if we could use this as a place to encourage one another, discuss waht we are going through, etc.

Wanna?

I started my 6 month managed weigh-ins in May. I should be sleeved in Oct @ NMMC. I have all my consults (psych, cardio, pulmonary, nut) scheduled over the next few months.

I'm 5'2" with a BMI of 39. Goal weight is 130. I'm 36 & haven't weighed that since Middle School.

I'm so anxious to get it done, time seems to be dragging by.

Hi, I started my journey in May and I'm hoping to finish in November, then I need to get approved, so I'm looking at a December surgery? My insurance is from the hospital I work for, its called Valley Baptist Health Plans. The surgery is suppose to be 100% paid, but I have to pay everything else out of pocket. I've seen my doctor twice ($30 per visit) and my NUT once ($40 per visit). I need to see him 4 more times and her 5 more times. I already did some labwork (free). I need a Chest X-Ray, Pulmonary Function Test, EKG and 3 visits to do a psychological evaluation ($330). I'm really gonna struggle in November having to pay all those exams...but it will be worth it!
