Hi everyone! My current insurance plan doesn't cover bariatric options, so I'm paying out of pocket for my LAP-band surgery. My coverage ends on June 30th (less that a month from now) so I need to shop for new insurance. I've tried searching sites like Anthem and Humera, but I find them hard to navigate. I want to make sure my new plan covers bariatric and mental health. So what should I do/where should I go to find a personalized plan for myself? I'm 29 years old, no spouse, no dependants, I'm a student. I'm currently paying $375 a month for my plan. Which is rediculously high, and I'd like something lower, but if that's what I have to pay to have it covered, than so be it. I work student jobs, so my employer doesn't cover any insurance. Do you guys know of any sites or specialty plans that I could look into?

I'm sorry, I didn't think about different doctor requirements post-surgery. Mine requires 2 days of Clear liquids (and I think broth is included here.) Then 2 weeks of just liquids Then 2 weeks of pureed. I'm not so worried about the pureed part yet. I'm sure I will be in 3 weeks, but for now, I'm just trying to stock up for the first 16 days.

I'll be banded next Thursday, June 5th. Super nervous, but excited! I'm going out today to stock up on post-surgery food. My surgeon doesn't require any type of pre-surgery diet. I had planned on being good, eating Protein and low carbs. But I haven't done very well with this. It's so hard to say good-bye to foods I won't be eating for awhile!! What should I stock up on? My list so far is pedialyte, ensure, Protein shakes, V8. That's all I can think of. What do you guys recommend for the first 2 weeks? Especially the first 2 days?
