Update!

i had my interview yesterday!!!! OMG! it was tough! the questions they asked were really hard. they wanted detailed instances when i felt this way or that or i did this or that. and of course the minute they ask the question i suddenly find myself back in high school having never worked anywhere and can't remember a stitch of experience i have!!! i met with the HR lady, then watched a DVD about the company, then the HR lady wanted me to speak w/ 2 supervisors from the department! it was a lil over an hour interview all together. i feel pretty good about it. She said they'll be making a descision after they review the candidates and will call either way whether yes or no! probably this week!!! so please please please pray for me! and i'll let ya'll know once i hear from them.

i called "bigthunder" (see above posts) and told him how the interview went and he said its a good sign that they had me speak to the supervisors cuz he heard that if they aren't interested in you you dont go any further than the HR lady!

I had the same problem, United Health care called and they told me excluded but as long as employer said ok to cover it and medically necessary and outpatient they would cover. THen started with surgeon to find out "excluded" and no way will they pay. One person at insurance company just said real rudely "we don't pay for obesity". THank you very much. Our company insurance agent told me even if I waited until September when my employer renews insurance it could not be added even if employer said ok because we have less than 3000 employees. Said that most companies will not add until company of that size. I am not sure if that correct or not. I own my house so I borrowed $17,000 to do self pay. Ouch. good luck to you. If self pay not a option really check your new jobs insurance plan out.

I don't believe what your ins agent said at ALL. Size of the company makes no difference. My cousin works for a VERY small company, about 30 employees. Her's was covered! My hubby works for a HUGE company Procter & Gamble, this plant alone has over 3,500 employees. That is not including the thousands of other P&G plants all over the world, who also have the exact same insurance plans. They have an exclusion, and it was NOT covered. I had to pay.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
