Out with the truth

I finally told my mom and my hubby. I was more worried about telling my hubby b/c he constantly harps on my friends that have had any type of WLS. He considers it the easy way out - then again, he doesn't drink soda for a day and loses 5 lbs. How could he possibly understand, right?!?! Ok, I got the truth off my chest and I feel better. My mom works in medical coding and she gave me some good advice - much needed and appreciated. Hubby - well he is what he is... he said I will support it if that's what you want. Hello? I have only been trying for 3 yrs to get this approved?!?! Ya think this isn't what I want? Hmm..

 

On a different note - I am reading a lot of people saying they can't get insurance post banding - OMG. Really? This is not good news to a pre bander. What if I lose my job or my insurance, switch jobs or insurance... oh so many questions!! If you have info please let me know.

I switched jobs and my new insurance did not cover WLS or anything related to it but I think my doctor's office knew how to code my fills where it is still being covered? I am not sure how or why but I did look at my statement one day and it just listed injections. I guess if they don't ask what kind of injections then I am not going to worry about it LOL!

As long as they are paying for it, I wont care what codes they use hahahah!! The more research I do, the more it seems that only private insurance plans deny people for prior WLS bc they are high risk. Clause - you are high risk being obese, and you are still high risk after WLS??? Wow!
