Insurance Chronicles...

So... I found out this week that my insurance has changed.. when I started my new job, i kept my NC address and so they assigned me to United Healthcare, once I changed my address to Atlanta a month later, they switched me to Anthem BCBS. The good new is, they are still going to pay for 100% of the surgery...I still think that is AMAZING! God is good. The issue is that I might have some issues with getting the type of surgery that I want. They approve RNY (Gastric Bypass) and the Lap Band.

I have decided I am against the lap band because of the post op complications that are possible and having to possibly go back for a bunch of fills. I don't want want to have to worry about something happening to the band, or me being able to feel the port or anything like that.. I know it works for a lot of people so no judgements, just not for me. I have a friend who has it and she LOVES it.

As for the RNY, I prefer not to have a surgery where they are moving around my intestines. But I would do it if I can't get the sleeve.

Oh so the 2nd BEST thing is I don't have to wait the 6 months that I had to if I had United Healthcare with the medically supervised weight loss program that was required. Yay.. I will keep you posted. I haven't shown up in BCBS' system yet, but the moment I do...I am ON IT! LOL...can't wait to get the process started..
