What should I do first?

Hello, I'm a newb even though I've been lurking on OH for several months. I was just wondering in what order should I do things to get the ball rolling to have WLS. Should I contact my ins.co.(Humana) to seeif WLS is covered or should I schedule an app. with my PCP or should I schedule ann app. with the surgeon(when I decide who to go to)?  Now for my intro, my name is...well you know my name... Robert in case you weren't paying attention. I'm a 37yo father of 2, married to my HS sweetheart for almost 15 years. I've struggled with my weight since I was 10 and my PCP has been telling me that it would catch up to me someday, well someday is here. My heaviest weight was 342lbs but I am now down to 333. I was recently diagnosed with sleep apnea, I'm on the cusp of becoming diabetic, I have high blood pressure/cholesterol. That's really about it, thanks for taking the time to read this.

What I did was to go to my surgeon's informational seminar. From there the surgeon's office directed me as to what to do. Since my surgeon's info seminar was free I have not spent any more money than I should have.    BTW I don't know where in Kentucky you are located but Georgetown Baratrics is a very nice place with great people.  Good luck.

Thanks for replying, I know that's a stupid question But I just really wasn't sure what steps I need to take. I already have an app. with my PCP next Friday so I will probably mention it to her to get her input and then call and schedule the seminar. I live in Winchester so I was kinda thinking about Saint Joe but I'm also considering Central Baptist. I may schedule both and see which one I like best.

Welcome and Good Luck.  I agree with the free information seminar but I sure would check your plan out first, just so you are  not disapointed.  It seems like they are all writing exclusions.  Also if you call and find out before your appt with your PCP, if you have to be on a supervised 6mth diet you can start then.  Again  Good luck.  It was the best thing I have ever done for myself.  By doing for my self I  am able to be so much more than I ever was.
