Sounds like a good plan to wait till June!! Best of luck to you and hope everything is smooth sailing! Do you mind me asking your age?? Trying to meet someone to walk the journey with me.. A friend who knows the battles I'm going through.. Most of my close friends seem to be treating me a lil different since I told them I was getting gastric bypass!

Do you come to the support groups

Oh ok. So how's it going 6 months after surgery? I haven't had mine yet. Possibly next month. I started trying to go thru Dr. Salzberg and riverside as well but had horrible luck and interactions with his staff. They were giving me wrong information and basically got and attitude when I tried to correct them (concerning my insurance). So I'm going thru Chesapeake Regional and I'm soooooo much happier with them.

I personally feel they weren't willing to do the work necessary to handle my situation of having two insurances. My primary doesn't cover RNY but my second does and they just gave me this blanket, generic statement of "if ur primary ins doesn't cover it then ur second won't". And that's not true. The attitudes came after I got my secondary insurance person to call them and clarify but they stood firm on their statement which was INSANE to me when u have someone directly from the ins company telling u otherwise. But like I said God knows best and He directed me away from them and to the place He wanted me to be. I would like to lose anywhere from 110 to 130 pounds.
