I had a date and lost my insurance. Now a year later our insurance kicks in Dec. 1. I don't know if I need to start over from the begining or can resume by having my name put back on the surgery list. I just need someone in my corner who knows what I am going through.

First let me say, hello fello sacto!! i was born and raised in sacramento. I moved a lil over four years ago for my husband's job. well as for your question, i am not exactly sure the correct answer since i dont know what kind of insurance you have or anything like that. I just was wondering if your insurance required a 6 month supervised weight loss program before surgery?? Cuz i am currently in one, and the program i am in, is still good for two years after completed. This is good for numerous reasons. Maybe somebody does good on the weight loss program and feels that they dont need the surgery anymore, but eight months down the road they gain it all back. So i guess i just dont know what you mean by if you have to start over at the begining again. Anyways, i wish you the best of luck and hope you get what you are wishing for!!! Maybe Santa will give it to you if you've been a good boy. lol jk

I will be back on Kaiser. They did require me to loose 10% of my body weight before scheduling my surgery last time. I lost all of that an was scheduled. I have to drive from West Sac to SSF for all of my appointments so I hope I don't have to start over.

I don't have any one question but need someone to talk to once in a while as I suffer from bad panic attacks and this is bound to trigger them. I also suffer from insomnia as a result of being bipolar so I am frequently up all night. I will not know anything more about the process as the surgery center Will not talk to me until I have the insurance. Sooo until then I sit wait and hyperventilate.
