Insurance Woes!!!
on September 22, 2007 12:35 am
Well I have learned from my insurance company that they have a written exclusion for anyhting regarding overweightness including everything from pre op to the actual proceedure of WLS. If it is medically necessary then shouldn't they still have to pay for at least part???  I mean either way I still plan on having this surgery done whether with my insurance paying for it or not it will just take longer than expected b/c i will have to save the money. Any ideas on how to get them to pay for it or at least part of it. This is just really nerve racking I was doing so good eating better and excercising and now I just want to give up. I will admit I slipped once but hey everybody makes mistakes....  Well time to pick up and carry on just a little down that i have been working so hard and now i get pushed back... ugh!!!!!  Well for now GOOD LUCK  to all on this journey. Keep your heads up and your weight going down....

My Story

I have been overweight since i was about 7 yrs old. It all started b/c I became sick and was not allowed to play outside as i once was a very active child. Well when you can't play outside what happens??? All that sedintary lifestyle creeped up on me and i began to gain weight. Well I have battled the weight for a number of years never succeeding in losing a vast amopunt of weight other than the 87 i lost on weight watchers which my father decided i needed to quit when i got caught drinking at 15 yrs old. Like i was actually going to weight watchers for fun!!!!!! Well anyway since then it's been up and down more up than down but what can you do. Well I have now started on a strict eating regimen and excercise trying to get this weight off or at least some of it until i can get the surgery approved and move on with things. I suffer from depression and am now on meds to help control that along with various comorbidities. Well GOOD LUCK to ALL!!!!!
