increasing bummage

Well this sucks! Stacie becomes unemployed tomorrow and the end of this month we lose our medical insurance. I have an appointment next week with the surgeon to set a goal weight to get the bariactric bypass surgery I guess I will cancel that one . My wonderful in laws were willing to help pay the COBRA so I could still get the surgery. I greatly appreciate this. Then we find out yesterday that domestic partners are not covered under cobra. OK plan B. I contacted Kaiser to see about an individual policy. That was another epic fail. The plans were less expensive then COBRA but the coverage was MUCH less. AND Bariactric surgery was not covered under any individual plan. So I am back to no insurance effective Feb 1. I guess I am going to have to lose the weight the hard way. Diet and exercise. I am going to watch Craig's List for a free home gym (saw one just last week that I can set up in the garage to save on gym membership. Wow today is just a real bummer.

I am sorry to hear that Jamie. I can personally relate to that let down. I was to have that surgery myself last summer before my job pooped out and my insurance disappeared. ~Donna
