Topic: RE: Website Help
Your best bet is to check with your new insurance and ask them if they cover WLS and what types of surgery. Also be sure to ask what you have to do to qualify. Some make you have a 6 month (or more) documented attempt at weight loss that is supervised by your Dr. So call them and find out as many specifics as you can and that will help you get started. Any questions let me know. [email protected]

Topic: RE: Are you out there Dream?
Praise God you are alive. I have been so worried about you. I am so sorry and it makes me want to cry knowing you have been having a tough time. This board has not been the same with out your positive uplifting spirit. I am getting ready to have surgery on March 20, down in Oklahoma. It is so nice to hear from you. Please don't be a stranger and post when you can. As always you are in my prayers.

Here I am Steph...I am so sorry for not staying in touch. It has been tough, but I am back now. How are you doing? What is going on with you? I hope all is well. Talk to you soon.
Topic: RE: I Have a Date!!!
My Insurance will pay for the Surgery. I have Humana Gold. Once I started the process, it only took a couple of months to get approved. My surgeon is Dr. Hornbostel in Sedalia Missouri. Very nice and helpful with all of my questions and concerns. He takes the time to talk to you.

Topic: RE: Call for Action!! Exclusions in Kansas
Got an email my local representative. It's not looking too good right now. It appears that the Governor's health care initiative is not being met with open arms in the statehouse. Get ahold of your local representatives in the statehouse to tell them you want them to support the Governor's mission of expanding healthcare coverage and you want better access to more obesity management services including weight loss surgery!
Topic: RE: No hope Kansas?
You know I have wondered the same thing. I think the difference is that the plans are just wrote and governed differently. Because I know Blue Cross Blue Shield of Kansas City, but BC/BS of Kansas does not. 
Topic: RE: Fills in KS?
I have never thought of this previously. But my insurance company has a exclusion and I have a good job with the state, but the situation with the state reversing course on this issue doesn't look promising.
How much is this in Mexico? How safe? What's a fill?
Topic: RE: Tell me about what I should expect in a psych eval?
I had my psych eval with a Psychologist here in Topeka and I didn't have to take the MMPI - we just met for 4 sessions and I got the preapproval from my insurance for the eval so I was only out the co-pays ($20 per session for me).
