JodiT140 34 Posted November 5, 2016 I just scheduled my surgery for December 15th! It's been a long journey but it's finally going to happen! I have been looking into weight-loss surgery for 6 years now. I never thought I would ever be able to go through with it. My insurance always had an exclusion and I could never afford to pay cash. However, I went back to school and started a new career in the medical field. I was so excited to find out that my new insurance would pay for the procedure however I would need to have 24mo's over coverage and then 6mo of nutritional visits. It's all behind me now and December 15th is my day! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OhHeyMarina 285 Posted November 5, 2016 Yay congrats! My surgery is December 16th! But unfortunately I'm selfpay because I had just switched insurances before I started this journey and guess what my old insurance would of covered it but of course my new one doesn't!

JodiT140 34 Posted November 5, 2016 That's awesome! However that sucks about the self pay but it will be worth it!!! Do you have to do a 2 week pre op diet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
