Hi everyone! I just started this process 2 weeks ago and have a surgery date set for April 25th. My insurance doesn't require pre-authorization and my PCP signed off on Saturday. My BMI is 42 with 100 lbs to lose. I'm nervous and excited. I have my upper GI set for Thursday. Best of luck to everyone. This forum has already been a great help so far!

I have BCBS of Michigan. I was sure I would have to do a 6 month diet but when I met with the surgeon they said BCBS waived that requirement with a PCP sign off. So 2 weeks ago I thought I'd be lucky to have surgery in Sept. so I'm elated to have an April date. I've been on countless diets for 25 years- since I was 11 years old so that requirement seemed crazy to me. I'm just ready to start!!!

I started looking into to wsl in 09. The surgeon i wanted at the time was only covered by 50% by my insurance. He was out of network by 16 miles and they would not budge. The place they would cover i refused to go to because they did not have a good track record and were not a coe hospital.

We ended up moving because of my husbands job' date=' so along came new insurance. Went to yet another seminar for a new surgeon and i felt like he was just pushing cattle through a chute. That was fall of 2010.

2012 my husbands employer dropped wls from the policy but added it back this year so i jumped on it. Ended up deciding on a Dr in Bismarck Nd and loved his vibe and personality. I worked in a hospital for 12 years and you can start to know a Dr by his

demeanor.

I live up by the Canadian border so no matter where i go i have to drive for hours. I'm thankful he is almost four hours away, most of my specialists are 5 to 6.5 hours away.

I've failed in dieting most of my life. Never had a weight prob growing up, it started after i had my two daughters. I could loose 40 and gain back 60. But the last two years due to some illnesses i can't loose weight, i can gain it but its hell losing five pounds. Sorry for the rant i got carried away. I'm just so darn happy and keep pinching myself to make sure its really happening. Come on April 11!
