Apr 09, 2008
well great! I have humana ppo choice care for insurance. Well i called my insurance and they told me that the insurace my boss picked dosent cover surgical weight loss. So i talked to my boss he seid that he didnt realize that they picked a coverage that wouldnt cover my surgery. So my boss who is the greatest called to see what they could do. does any one know, can i pick up secoundary insurance that will help cover the cost of RNY? I am not letting this stop me from moving forward there has to be something i can do. I have three letters of med nesesity. i feel like iam going to die with out this surgery.

Ok next step do i want a lap band or RNY? I would really like a mini gastric bypass but i dont think insurance covers that yet. any one know? well, i have read blog after blog on lap band and it seems that more people regret having the lap band. All the blogs i have read on RNY have some scary side effects but over all the people seem happy with the decision they made. I would love to hear some feed back from any one that reads my blog.
first problem

well i have incountered my first road block. My husband! He is very up set that i want to have surgery. He thinks i will get thin and leave him. I think he feels he can control me because my self estem is so low right now. I am still going to Vanderbilt hospital on Tusday to attend a meeting on rny. I think right now, thats the surgery i have decided on. I have humana ppo choice care. I have herd good things on this web site about aprovals for this insurance. Crossing my fingers. I steped on the scale and iam at 295. That hurts!

Well Iam not sure how to go about starting. I have been big all my life. It really sucks. I have been thinking about surgery since i first herd about it. I have been on ever diet (like every one else) known to man. I did lose 80 lbs by accident before my first child. My car broke down and I had to walk 8 miles 2 times a day. Plus I lived of potatos and tuna because thats all i could afford. Before long I realized my pants needed four saftey pins to stay on my shrinking butt. Well I had two kids since then and the butt shrinking fairy has not granted my wish again. 
so now iam stuck at 295 lbs. To make things worse I went to my MD and I have been diagnosed with hep c 1a. My Dr. thinks that I would have a better chance of killing the virus if I would just lose 140 lbs. OK that should be easy!! I have made up my mind I hate food I dont care if I ever tasted the sweet joy of another chocolate cheese cake or a slice of pie. Screw ice cream!! Kill little debbie!! 
Well iam going to Vaderbilt in Tennessee to see about getting some help with this weight loss thing. wish me luck
