    HI there Meggan, I went to the orientation today. It appears there is a $2000 program fee that isnt covered at all by insurance. Im not sure I agree with that. I may be looking around. If this is for the convinence of not having to deal with insurance and having them do all my work it may be worth it. I'll have to dig deeper to figure it out. On the postive side I really liked Dr Debarros (I know I spelled his name wrong) he was really down to earth and had the surgery himself just last year.

    Hi,
    Yeah that would be great. I had a consult for WILA but I missed it because I couldn't get anyone to watch my two kids. I am thinking more and more they might be the ones for me. I just need to get over there. It seems so far away. I wish they had support groups over on this side of town. I am pretty sure that I could get approved through insurance too. I have Aetna. I need five years of being overweight, 40 BMI( I am right at 40) and 6 month supervised diet which I haven't done but I am going to see if they will help me with that. I think there might be a clause that a three month pre-op diet could be accepted. Let me know how your meeting goes, I want to hear all about it, and I need to schedule mine, and see if I can get approved! Thanks for writing me, lets keep in touch!

It's been awhile since I have blogged my thoughts and feelings on what is going on.
This LBT is great because I have met a couple of really great people so far and I enjoy talking with them. One actually went to a information meeting in Flagstaff with me.
I am really only torn over one thing. I really want to get the sleeve rather than the lap band but I know for a fact that my insurance wont cover the sleeve and I am so not wanting to wait for a year or two for them to come around and...

It is BC/BS of Massachusetts, Blue Care Elect Preferred (PPO)
I have googled this a lot today and have found that as long as there is an exclusion for WLS there seems to be no problem getting banded. (I HOPE!!)
I dont think the employer would put a specific exclusion for WLS because what I am reading it sounds as if they pulled no stops at making sure they have a great policy. Soooooo unlike my husband's current (nearly former) employer.

Ok, So this is my first entry on this blog. A bit about myself.
I have always struggled with my weight. I was never overweight as a child or even a teen. I think this was because my Mom really was my "food monitor" I never realized that till now that I am 44. It wasn't until I got out of my Mom's grasp did I gain loads of weight which of course for most kids is when they go away to college. Before that point I was very active. I was involved in Sports and Cheerleading but still...
