Ok im gonna be the old mother of the group. Why the rush if you have gone through the eight months AND you will have insurance again in Nov then why not schedule in Nov?

Because of the "what if" factor. Granted most likely all will be fine but WHAT IF.

I would personally wait but again im a glass is half empty girl.

Either way i wish you well

One of those what ifs could be the new insurance company not covering the surgery or make her jump through more months of hoops.

You should definitely look into the new insurance providing coverage for a "pre-existing condition", which after care for WLS might be defined as by the insurance company.

Also, would your surgeon be considered "in-network" for your new coverage? A valid topic to research , because if they are out of network you could be having to pay a higher percentage of the cost for visits to your bariatric surgeon or insurance may not be willing to provide coverage at all for those services.

Good points. Jan 1st I am being switched from Cigna to Blue Cross Blue Shield so I am hoping they are going to cover my fill appointments. This change is not by choice but rather my Employer.

Talk to Tricare about COBRA. While it cost money you are able to keep insurance for a few months. if you can swing the cost I recommend you do that. Its continuation of coverage and its a law that its offered.
