Also the 3 yr wait list is because with Medicare you have to have the surgery at Center of Excellence and there are only 5 Dr's in my area that preform the surgery's there. They all have a long list.

Aha! See, I learn something new everyday. Thanks! And I'm so sorry they make you jump through hoops.

You are fortunate to have your husbands insurance and the 6 monthd will go by quickly. Before you know it you'll be on your way to the healthier and better life you desire and on your way to writing a best seller too.

All the best to you Sara, from a former Oregonian now living in Italy where by the way I have had all my operations(gastric bypass, abdominoplasty and hip replacement). I am now living a new life due to have life returned to me through the gastric bypass proceedure.

I decided to stick with the insurance because if something doesn't change I wont even be here in 3 yrs. I have a son graduating High School next year. I want to be there.
