Hi Suzie. I've only just come across your vlog, I was searching for 283lbs which is what I am just now - and your videos popped up.
I'm so sorry to hear that surgery isn't going to be easy to get - I'm thinking about a gastric band too as my weight is yo yo ing - I'm across the pond in the UK
Please keep positive - it is lovely to see you when you smile - you have a gorgeous cherubic face - which lights up when you smile.
i know it's super easy to get discouraged when you hear that your insurance doesn't cover the surgery. i know because i was there! i eneded up paying out of pocket. i took out a loan and now pay $400/month- it's a lot to pay each month but it was the best decision i ever could have made. but i heard that starbucks does cover even for part timers-so that's exciting! good luck :)
If I could I would take out the loan for my surgery. I'm now working two jobs to reduce our debt. I will get the surgery one day when the time is right.
Hang in there. I tried for 10 yrs before I got approved. Keep plugging away at and check out every option out there! If you have a positive outlook and faith that it will happen eventually will! :)
You put a big smile on my face. Thank you! Yes.. I will not give up. I guess it's just not the right time yet but I will not stop fighting. I have my good days and bad days in being positive but that has more to do with the problems in my life right now. I always try my best to look at what wonderful things I do have in my life.
I called my insurance and found out that the surgery is totally, absolutly... excluded. Sooo.. next plan is to try my insurance with the job I'm at. Buutttt.. I just started my job and have to wait 3 months before coverage. That's fine with me.. I'll wait. I waited 20yrs to get skinny I can wait a few months. If all fales.. I will go to mexico.
Aaahhh.. it sucks so much. I don't know what to do with myself. I'm so sorry it happened to you too hun. I feel like i'm suck with this issue for the rest of my life.
good luck! i would have been pissed if i would have payed for my psych eval and then they told me my insurance wont cover! but i'm glad you have a back up plan. it will happen for you! again good luck!!!!

good luck I am sure they will approve it later on or maybe try Gastric Sleeve. I hope it all works out for you.

Actually any Bariatric Surgery is excluded from my policy. It's not even a matter of getting aproved. I can't even go that far.
