I found out about my new insurance company.

Mar 17, 2010

I now have Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alabama. I'm sad because I thought I was going to be able to get the sleeve but they only cover the Lap Band and Gastric bypass.  I don't think the lap band is for me at all and then I'm afraid to do the gastric bypass. Well, one of my family members had the gastric bypass and didn't have any trouble. I need to  re-think this thing and do a lot more research. In a way the new insurance is better because they pay up to 10k for a tummy tuck after you lose all the weight. What I don't like is that I have to pay a lot more out of pocket for the surgery vs the 100.00 I would have to pay with the old insurance. You can't have it all I guess. I'm just relieved that they even cover any of the surgeries. At least I still have a choice.
