Hello everyone! I am new to the site and to bloging so bare with me:smile:

I am having my surgery one week from today and I have my pre=op appointment tomorrow. I am really excited, nervous, and scared. So many emotions, I don't know what to think. I do have a great support system at home and at work. It is really exciting though to read what you are all going through and to know that you are not alone and that I won't be either.

I have blue cross blue shield of Florida. I have been working on all the pre-reqs since Nov. of last year. I had to get five years of medical history, six months of documented weight loss with my primary doctor, lab tests and a psych eval. Once my surgeon submitted all that it only took ten days to get my approval back.

Anyways, thanks for listening, and I will re-post after my pre-op visit.

Hi I am just curious? Did your policy have a provision for WLS? I had BC & BS and they would not pay a thing for me. I am so happy for you!!! You have every right to feel the emotions that you feel, I felt them all. You will be fine and so happy that you did this surgery. I have done well, and feel great about 14 months out.

Hi, yes it had a provision that if it was medically necessary then they would cover it. I guess I should have mentioned that. I do have high blood pressure.

I have read quite a few of your blogs and like I said before it is so exciting to see others in the same situation. You are an inspiration to me. I hope that I will have the same results as you 14 months out.
