Hello Everyone !
I was trying to get my WLS about 2 years ago and was turned down by my insurance. So, I just kind of gave up. I started a new job this past August and am now on a new insurance which requires employees to get a check up and cholesterol check every year ( unless you want to pay more for your insurance next year) . So I went to my family doctor and did all the stuff I needed to. This is the kicker ... my bariatric surgeon's office is on the same network and system that my family doctor is. So I get home that afternoon and the bariatric office calls and says Hey! We see you're on this new insurance and your bmi is over what they want. I can set an appointment for you to meet with the doctor again if you'd like. And since you already completed a 6 month diet and have the psychological evaluation you should be able to meet with the doctor and the nutritionist again and then we can schedule your surgery! I honestly about fell over but I am SUPER excited. Nervous but SUPER excited. And a little anxious... but SUPER excited
