Didn't you have some medical care on your way back home? How was that covered?

I had issues with my heart acting up again in Denver. It was covered by my medical insurance I have with my employer.

It was not treated as WLS related as it is a well documented issue that predated my WLS.

Although with the weight loss my heart is behaving just fine.

I'm guessing your concern is regarding your insurance not covering WLS related medical claims postop?

I knew going in they wouldn't cover WLS med claims postop. I decided the benefits outweighed the "what if" risks for me. I had comorbidities and topped out over 400 lbs.

Only you know what the best decision is for you short term and long term.

Hey all. The year is coming to a close and my insurance deductible has been met. I hope to schedule the recommended endoscopy before the year is over for a Sleeve looksee.

I will share the results.

Also, down 117 lbs, and in my first "known" stall.
