Started this journey a year ago and had to put everything on hold until January of 2014 because of a dumb preexisting clause with my new insurance company. I restarted the process in Nov and had lab work and upper GI done. Met with nutritionist and will have my psych eval on Sat. Once it is complete my doctor will submit paperwork for approval of surgery. The nerves about getting approved that I read from everyone on here are already setting in. I have Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas and my doc said that my policy does include wls so that's a positive note. I am so ready to have this done. I have two children in elementary school and it will be so nice to not be tired all the time after all their activities. I am 5' 1 and 255 lbs and have tried every diet I've encountered. I'd lose but would eventually regain. I really enjoy everyone's posts and pray for all of you to find the success and good health that we are all striving for with this endeavor. I'll keep you all posted and look forward to reading more from you all!
