I noticed u are considering Surgeon Muhammad Jawad. I am thnking about changing to him. He is on the list of my new insurance. He is also considrered one of the best WL surgeons.

I live in jacksonville, Florida . I dont know how it is going to work out yet.

I am going to answer this based on my similar situation. I currently have a Cigna PPO that changes to Cigna HMO 1/1/11. I would recommend getting the insurance that is going to allow you the lowest deductible (so less out of pocket when you have surgery) so I think that would be the Cigna PPO 250. You can always change it the following year since that would probably be the most expensive. As far as the 6 months, you don't have to restart it, just continue on with it. I know all insurance is a bit different (I think it also goes by requirements set in place by your employer) but you may also need an eval by a psych and dietician (I needed both of these) and with these I would recommend doing them at the end since they are the "easiest"! :)

Hope this helped!

The thinking part or believing?

Today is my psych eval. It's the last major requirement I need to meet before all is ready to go! Surgery date is 43 days away! Yaaay!!

As long as I believe in me that is all that matters, right
