my long journey to being sleeved finally.

Hello all, my journey started late 2010 when I decided to get a bariatric surgery. I called up my insurance company which I have from my job and asked if they cover for bariatric surgery and they said that they do. I was even more excited when I found out that they do not require a 6month weigh in as other insurance company as long as my BMI is above 40. I got a note from my doctor and started the process and by 2011, I was done with all the test ie upper GI, psychologist ,cardiologist etc. A month after I was done and about to make an appointment to see my surgeon for the last time and schedule my surgery date, I realized that I have missed my period and started to get nervous. I took a pregnancy test and I was pregnant. I cried so much because I was happy to be pregnant after trying for so long and sad because I was so close to my surgery date. Anyway, I had a handsome baby boy in 2012 and decided to start the whole process again before I go back to work from my maternity leave. I finally did and found out when I went back to work that my job has made changes to our insurance and the surgery will cost me 20% compared to $250 if I had done it by December 2012. Also, they now require a 6month weigh in which was not fun at all. My surgery was scheduled for June 5th (my birthday) because I wanted that day to be a memorable day.
