Hi! Guess I'm a little older than many...47 :-) It's taken me 3 yrs to get to this point and now I am gung-ho to go!!! I have my husbands Empire NYS plan. I weight 255# I'm about 5' 5ish". Does anyone have any experience with Empire? Would love to connect with others like me?

Many of us are older than you and there are some that are younger than you... no big deal, we can all help each other with our journeys.....Congrats on your decision to get sleeved.....

hi lady

you waited 3 years - but you finally made the wise decision to go ahead with WLS - good for you

i have the Empire Plan from my job working for the state these past 20 years (early disability retirement)

united health care pays dr.s and BCBS pays hospital - I "think" thats what your DH has

followed, did/had all the requirements - co-morbities, BMI et al

did what ins wanted/required - going to different doctors for approval

didn't take "too" long to get the go ahead

i used the dr. on the "provider" list - all went great - didn't pay a dime!!!!!

i am 59 (13 months post surgery)

thinking 47 years old might be a little "older" than many????

you are a spring chicken dudette !!!!

we're all getting older (problem i deal with sometimes )

as the weight comes off you will start to feel healthier, happier and YOUNGER

WooHoo

good wishes for insurance approval

good luck on pending surgery

speedy recovery

Thank you so very much!:-D
