Well I have about one month to go for the 6 month supervised weight loss requirement and today it was announced that 1200 men are being laid off and 8 mines closed 4 of them here in West Virginia where my husband works. WHICH WILL MEAN NO INSURANCE!!! I am so scared and stressed out too come this far and so close

Most state insurance for unemployed people cover this surgery, at least that is what I have heard. You might have to redo a few things, but I am betting well hoping that they will accept what you have already done. So be sure to check with the state to see what medical insurance you get from them. So sorry you guys are dealing with this, hope things work out for you. Keep us posted! Don't stress too much, things will work out.

When you get laid off you do not her any state health insurance

You may be eligible for cobra/continuation of benefits. It does cost money but may be covered by his employer because the layoff is so large. Hopefully he will get some information on it. So sorry to hear you are going through this.

Can you continue with cobra?

I am keeping my fingers crossed for you and your husband that his mine is not closed.

Husband will get home in a little bit I will find out more then!! Thanks for the support

I feel like I am having an emotional break down today. Not smoking not eating and trying to deal with this stress and eat noodles for dinner and that stresses me out too because I know I can't eat it but I do anyway and I just feel like if someone says hi to me I will just break down and cry. Husband said the bosses said they were safe for today but husband says he gives it a week maybe 2 and they will be shut down

Oh crap

I know tp I am so close!! For this to happen now!! I am going to call tomorrow like I said and then take it day by day and if I have to will be very very expensive and I am not sure how cobra works like if your benefits stay the same etc...the only thing I can hope for if or when it happens his company does what they did for others in the past by paying them for 60 days and continuing their insurance for 60 days

I wish u the best of luck. So sorry that you have to deal with this. Hopefully he will not get laid off. I can't imagine what this is doing to you emotionally. My thoughts and prayers are with u!

Thank you I can use all the prayers I can get

Would you be able to finance the surgery if it came down to it? That could be an option. All the pre work has been paid for so surgery would be all you would need to finance. I know that is huge especially with your husband out of work , it's just a thought.

Well I am going to see about.COBRA if it happens. Paying 1000 a month for insurance instead of 20-50,0000 grand for ssurgery is a lot cheaper. And again I am going to explain mu situation with them tomorrow to see if they can help by speeding up things. I mean I am on my 6th month

Ya, that totally sucks!! Well I'm sure you will be able to work something out. Keep me informed, I will be thinking of you and sending positive thoughts your way.

Thanks bunches!!!
