So,

I started my journey July 31, 2013. Because of my insurance I have to go through the 6 months of seeing the nutritionist, and I decided that I wanted to have the vertical sleeve done. The company that I work for no longer provides insurance to their workers, therefore I half to go through Obama care. When I found this out, I called my surgeon’s office and asked questions, they informed me that they might not be accepting that insurance, I also have another appointment my nutritionist (last one J) coming up on January 8, 2014, but as of right now I don’t even have insurance. The anticipation of getting answers is killing me. Anyone else deal with something similar?

Thanks for reading

Teabody, I've been pulling my hair out with Obamacare since the open enrollment started on 10/1/14. I'm self employed so I pay for my own insurance out of pocket. I tried to enroll for an Obamacare program, but I made too much money for 2012 (they base your eligibility on your last tax returns). I bit the bullet and just upgraded from my old plan with Horizon (my previous plan doesn't cover bariatric surgery). I'm at the tail end of my preops, met with my surgeon's office yesterday and will probably be scheduled for surgery mid-February. So basically, I'm going to pay for my current expensive plan for two months, then reapply for an Obamacare subsidy plan before the 3/31/14 deadline for open enrollment (after I have my taxes done).
