Hi everyone! I'm new here! I first began looking at WLS options in April of 2012, but my insurance didn't cover it at that time. Fast forward, and I'm now on an insurance plan that covers WLS! The clinic I chose in Florida requires that we attend a seminar first, so I did that on Friday. It lasted about 2 hours. My first appointment with the surgeon I chose is 9/10! I'm so nervous but really excited. The staff at the seminar let me know my insurance doesn't require all that much -- a TSH test, a letter of support from my PCP, 1 psych evaluation, and BMI requirements (which I meet). I have an appointment with my PCP tomorrow to get the TSH test out of the way, and hopefully she'll have no qualms about a letter of support. My insurance does not require a supervised diet according to my clinic, and I'm certainly hoping that remains true. I know other people at the seminar did have to go with the supervised diet according to their insurance, so here's to keeping my fingers crossed that I really am avoiding that roadblock. If everything goes the way it should, I think I'll be able to have my surgery in October! (November at the latest.)
