Hey guys I haven't Posted In a While....
Okay....
so i have finally found an insurance plan that will possibly take me, because i no longer have insurance through my work. Has anybody here aver heard of the California Major Risk Plan?
Its a kind of insurance that they put cancer patients on, supposedly being obese is just about as bad, or maybe even worse, than having cancer or a terminal illness. In the eyes of the insurance companies that is..... go figure, lol. So i was told by a million different insurance companies that that was the only plan that would take me in such poor health. OTHER than COBRA, which is outrageously expensive, i mean i was quoted $700 a month for god sakes,
.
With California Major Risk i only pay like $325 a month IF I'm accepted. So after all that I have been through, and like so many of others have as well, I'm right back to the beginning of waiting to see if I'm approved or not, EXCEPT this time its worse, because it doesn't only mean i won't get the surgery, it also means i wont have any insurance and ill never have a chance at all of getting this surgery, EVER. Which means I'll be unhappy and I'll day, duh. lol.
So anyways I'm on a list and wont find out if the insurance will take me for 1-3 months, but there is a silver lining! If I DO get approved and this insurance takes me, then it is a for sure thing that i will be approved for Gastric bypass!!!!!!!!! Yayyayayayayaya!!!!
So that was my rant and rave, i hope you didn't shoot your brains out due to bordom have way through it lol.

Hi Tatem, yep I was on the MRMIP program for 3 years before they "graduated" me to an individual plan for Kaiser. It's the best way to go, I think. Good luck! =)
