So I posted that my surgery may not happen as soon as I would like due to the $$.
We have awesome insurance that covers it, but the clinic I picked charges a non billable 2000 fee! Plus my copays and coinsurance!
Well it would have been the possibility of paying up to 3400 total and its just more than we wanted to swallow right now. So I gave that up until tax time...
I got a call from Rockwood today though that said I had been approved again ( was approved a year ago for a trial thingy ) for the WLS surgery program, assuming I still meet my medical criteria ( im sure I do ) and that I could come Dec 11th for the orientation. Its not a trial so there would be costs, so I inquired. She said with my insurance theres nothing but a 270.00 fee for 3 visits to the nutritionist, and my coinsurance ( which is max 500.00 ) . So! I said Ill take it and it looks like I have to start at stage 1 again, but possibily may still get to have it mid January - February. Depending on insurance.
Im extatic.
I cannot wait. This journey has been amazing. Some people are so wonderful and others I choose not to tell. Ass holes who say stupid stuff!
Ill keep you posted, but wont know more till at least Dec. 11th.
