How could your insurance drop you? Are you planning to purchase insurance on your own? If so, none of those plans will cover WLS. Without more info on the previous ins...hard to answer....Sorry you are going through this.

My insurance dropped me last year, and I had to go back to the shitty company I worked for before with awesome insurance. I know how shitty you feel right now, so just keep looking for something better

Well it has to do with payments they claim they didn't get and I had proof they did and did numerous appeals, still dropped me. That insurance was on my own and they covers it! The one with with job didn't, if that what you meant. Thanks

Yes...wow! I've never seen one that did. But that may be the catch. I hope you can find another plan. Watch for exclusion criteria before signing up...good luck!

Can you use the government issued insurance? http://www.tmhp.com/Pages/ClientEnglish/client_health_care.aspx

You might be able to appeal being dropped with your state insurance coverage commission. It will be very difficult to find coverage that won't charge you a lot of money because of your weight. Next year the ACA will kick in and you should be able to find affordable insurance, but I don't know if it will cover WLS.

I can research that..I'm not really worried the cost its just geeting covered because of my weight.

You need to talk to the state insurance commissioner... You have a grace period to pay and with proof of payment, the company really has no choice but to reinstate you... Without any details I can't give too much more info then that but I would definitely give a call to your state's dept of banking and insurance and find out your rights as a consumer.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
