My Journey
Jun 12, 2007
October 2005-Attended my first WLS seminar at Evergreen Hospital with my mom
October 2005-Called insurance, under NO circumstances will they pay for any WLS or related issues occuring from a WLS 
May 2007-I've had enough of this yo-yo dieting. Called insurance again, will now cover Gastric bypass but not lapband.
June 8, 2007-First appointment with the nurse at 9:00 AM, then first appointment with Dr. Montgomery at 10:30 AM. Then met with insurance lady to talk costs! 
$16,900!
June 11, 2007-Called insurance again, will not cover any of it. Will have to appeal but was told off record it would be a waste of time, they never approve and I don't have enough co-morbidities...ughhh! Looked into cashing out investments. Attended my first NWWLS support group at 7:00 PM with my sister! We met some really great people there and am more excited then ever!
June 13, 2007-Attend another WLS seminar at Evergreen Hospital with sister who now wants to do surgery as well!
June 27, 2007-Psych appointment at NWWLS at 12:30 PM, will now be cleared for surgery when I am ready!
