Congratulations on your surgery date! I have some Zen Wisdom for you - Nothing exists but momentarily...One thing flows into another...observe things as they are, let everything go as it goes. This is to put everything under control in its widest sense. --- May God keep you close to his side as you travel your new journey. You will have ups and downs. You can always turn to us, your AMOS family, we will give support, comfort and encouragement. You will find this will be the best thing you could ever have done for yourself as well as your family. I know that was true for me. Keep us posted when you reach the "other" side. I pray for a speedy and easy recovery for you. Don’t forget to update your profile at least monthly. We all like to see how we are doing!!! Make sure you take pictures. It’s great to see the new you emerge!!! Not to mention the look on YOUR face when you look at those pictures and compare them in a few months! It’ll be a BIG WOW!!! Please remember too, that this is a *tool* to use. Make sure you use it wisely. Choose the right foods and measurements wisely! Feel free to look at my profile and see my ups and downs and know I’d not change a thing with anything I’ve experienced. Everything was worth it! Good luck and God Bless!!! RNY 10/31/03 257/140 I’M AT GOAL!!!

2-10-06 I continued to talk with the insurance staff at the hospital where the physican I hope to go with, is associated. They deal with the insurance issues for him. I sent them copies from my insurance coverage booklet that lists Bariatric surgery as covered. Interesting that I have to be the one to point out to my 3rd party insurance payor that it is indeed covered. Anyway, they now have told me that I need an edocrinology work-up, which I had earlier this week and a psyc. eval. which I have scheduled. I hope this will satisfy them but we shall see what other hoops they send my way for me to jump through. Interesting that my secondary insurance who has an out and out exclusion for bariatric surgery, at least sent me a nice letter saying it was not covered and they were really sorry. I don't really believe they were that sorry but at least they acknowledged that they had been contacted about coverage. My primary insurance has just been difficult and has not sent any information to me, only to the insurance staff at the hospital and I don't think that was in writing. I will continue to pursue this avenue and hope to get approved soon. Julia
