Praying for you, hon. In our own case, my husband's insurance did not cover any form of bariatric surgery, but the Lord seemed to make a way where there was no way in which we could do a self-pay for him to have the surgery. I just kept praying that if this was God's will for His life, that it would be provided for. (We were also in a position where we just couldn't see going into debt for it.)

You should be be proud of your accomplishment in already losing so much weight from your starting point. You have done a good job.:thumbup: It could be that you can do the rest without the surgery. I would just encourage you to look to the Lord to provide a way for you, however that would be best for your life. Try not to get discouraged!

High, I'm KayKay's husband. I just joined the forum yesterday. See my initial post where I tell my story under the name Fencepost. I encourage you not to give up. If this is important and you really want this ask God for him to provide a way for you. We will pray that he will help you. Insurance companies are changing what they will cover every day now. I just saw on a video that my insurance company has started covering the sleeve. It didn't cover mine because of a company exclusion for all weight loss surgeries, but that might not be the case for you. Job's change, situations change. Who knows how your answer might come, but don't give up. Our proyers will be with you.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
