My wife spoke to her doctor last week about my having wls surgery. The doc. told her the insurance requires me to be on a medically supervised/documented weight loss program for 1 year. Yes, totally bummed about it. It took me a few days to get over it. Now that I'm back in the right frame of mind, I've decided I won't accept this.

I contacted the LA Bariatric Center who sent me an information packet and other paperwork. They are having an info meeting on June 4th. I'm going to that. They will have insurance specialists and post-op patients I can talk to and ask questions. The surgeon emailed me himself and said he can help.

I certainly hope so. Just the thought of having to try "one more time", drives me nuts.


till next time ...

Good luck with LA Bariatric! I'm rooting for ya. BTW, what insurance??
