Guest guest Posted September 16, 2000 Report Share Posted September 16, 2000 The whole process of weight-loss surgery is stressing,from deciding to do it,getting a PCP to listen & refer you,to the insurance nightmare.I can only dream of how I would feel if I had gone through all that,only to get no results!!!! I've been fighting my own battle,trying to get insurance approval.To find that it was an excluded surgery was very depressing. I left the group for over a month,bc I couldn't stand reading everyones' success stories. Imagine,for a moment,how feels,having had the surgery?! I finally found out that,through my work,I can switch to BCBS of NC in Nov. I had my ins.lady at work check with BCBS about the surgery,before I went to all the trouble of switching.They called her & said with Dr. R's letter,they see no problem!!!! My insurance is activated in Jan, & I plan to get the surgery ASAP!!! All this said,the past 6months since I decided to have this surgery,have been the most stressful & depressing months of my life. I have seen days that I have been brought to tears by it all.I keep telling myself,that in the end,it will be all worth it.I am sure that is what thought too.'s outcome is a worse-case scenario,but it could have happened to any one of us.RED --------------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
