Alright so after much discussion with my husband, I decided that it was time to get the process started to have gastric bypass. Thankfully I have an incredibly supportive husband and he has been involved every step of the way. The process for bariatric surgery is different for everyone. With our insurance you have to complete a psychological evaluation, a six month physician supervised diet and exercise program, you have to have all your medical records for the past five years, and then you have to wait for insurance to approve you (which I hear can take a while).
As of the end of this month I have completed everything and we submit to insurance as soon as I have my last visit with my primary doctor. I am praying that this last part of the process goes well and I can have my surgery before the new year. I have met all of my deductibles for the year and would prefer not to pay them again. But I will say...if it comes down to it and I have to have the surgery in January, I don't care! This is something I want and I will get it!
