I have been wanting a WLS of some type since 2003.  I was active duty Navy at that time and the military refused to allow Tricare insurance to pay anything towards the surgery.  I have tried a couple more times since then and had insurance hoops to jump through.  The door finally opened when I got hired by government and got Blue Cross Blue Shield Federal plan.  I had a couple of hoops but I have finally recieved my approval and I am ready to go!  I was originally scheduled for 22Jul2011 but The band was on "Backorder" so I have been rescheduled for 26Jul2011.  I have also decided to get Plication as well.
