Topic: RE: Hello from someone who is starting the journey...

When someone introduces themselves as "starting the journey," it's often the start of a deeply personal transformation - filled with hope, questions, and early milestones. Conversations in such threads focus on finding honest information, supportive communities, and reliable guidance to navigate new challenges with confidence. If you're applying that same critical mindset to evaluating online entertainment platforms, the iGamingPub N1 Casino review is a great place to begin. It offers a well-structured breakdown of licensing, available games, bonus offers, and user experience - helping you determine whether N1 Casino aligns with your expectations and values before diving in.

Insurance coverage is really difficult to decipher. for example Blue Cross Blue shield will cover it but Blue Cross Blue Shield of Kansas won't. I don't know of an efficient way to even do a search. Most will cover it if certain conditions like BMI are met. Sorry i can't be of more help.

I know my surgeon has one that meets 2x a month on Thursdays and Saturdays.  Call Kansas City Bariatric and ask about them

Topic: Insurance Help.

We are going to be paying for insurance out of our own pocket. Is there a insurance company that pays for WLS or is there a special policy I can buy?

Hi Niccole - I just had my revision surgery at SMMC with Dr. Hoen.  I had my RNY in 2006 and lost 92 lbs, regained up to 60 pds, lost 20 so now my goal is 50 lbs.  Honestly can't believe I am doing this again!!! Kept saying Low Carb is so much easier and you can EAT!  What is your story?

That is who I'm thinking of going to also.  I have lap band right now and it's terrible, I'm hoping to have the DS next year and have been trying to research more on Dr. Bernstein.  Did you end up getting the surgery?
