So...... on Jan. 6th my husband and I went to the meeting, I was amazed at how many people were there, Crazy. We met the Dr and he told us what we could expect. And we filled out paper work and on the way out, handed it to our advocate. She is the person that goes to bat for us with the insurance company. She looked my employer and said that she thought I would be covered. I received a packet in the mail and an appointment with the surgeon, I think he was impressed with what I already knew, thanks to the vlogs and blogs. One step down, 11 more to go.............
My insurance criteria :
Over 18 years-------check- plus 37 years
3 yr history of morbid obesity-------check- plus
20 some years
6 month medically supervised diet regimen------check- finished on July 1st
must see physician every 3 months-----check- finished on July 1st
psychological evaluation------check-I'm not crazy whoo woo
I got a call on July 12th saying my insurance had been approved.
So I have another appointment with the Dr and a class of some kind and another appointment with the dietitian...............then THE DAY----NOVEMBER 1 2010
I could have had it in October, but that's a real busy time for my work, so instead of spending time worrying about the burden I put on my co-workers, I decided to wait. I haven't told amyone at work, except my supervisor....is that bad?
