Hello all

Good morning all I wanted to drop by and update y'all, my DH did get the new job . He should start within 3 weeks. We will not have beneifits for a few months, from what I heard his new place of employment has the best insurance so that being said I hope to have WLS within the up coming year. I will probably have to start all over again (16months and counting) but that is ok, I no longer have to deal with Preferred Care. If you are looking for insurance PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE stay away from PC they are not WLS friendly, unless you dont mind waiting 2 to 3 years for WLS. IMHO. So please keep us in your prayers. Have a wonderful day everyone Thin wishes and WLS dreams Tammy

Tammy, OMG that is just great hun I know you have been waiting SOOO long to get this going and now the wait is getting less and less. You will be there before you know it. Keep us posted hun... Debra P

Hello Debra Thank you for the reply, I am trying not to get to excited, the last time I did it all went in the I will update y'all just as soon as I know more. Have a great day Tammy

Tammy, This is wonderful news! I am happy for you. One of the reasons I took so long in trying to get the lap band is because I didn't think our insurance was very good and was too scared to try. Then my hubby switched jobs almost 3 yrs ago, and got good insurance and I figured I'd go for it. I think I possibly saved insurance thousands of dollars since diabetes runs in my family! You'd think the companies would see that! My uncle got a shipment of 44 boxes a month in health supplies for months before he died. If this option had been available to him, he could have avoided that and prolonged his life too. Keep us posted! Kristine

Hello Kristine Thank you, I know bad insurance stinks, but the future is looking bright. My family has every co mo listed, thankfully I dont have any YET!!!! But I know its in my future if I dont get my weight under control. you would think insurance would rather pay for preventative medicine. instead of a life long prescription bill Tammy

Tammy, That's great news about your DH's new job and better insurance. Better insurance means better care all around, which is so important with WLS. In the meantime, practice taking good care of yourself, keep your eyes on the prize, and you will be ready for WLS in no time! Congrats on the good news and please keep us posted! Amy

Hello Amy Thank you, I have had my eye on the prize for alot of years (almost 11). I get excited thinking the wait is almost over. you have giving some good advice, thank you again Tammy
