I played a lot of sports growing up and through high school and since then I have been gaining weight. Especially in the past 20 years. I lost over 100 pounds a couple of years ago on a liquid diet but again gained the weight back. I am presently at about 340. My wife and I decided to check into wls for me. We went to see Dr. Freeman to find out about the lap band surgery. We left there knowing that the right surgery for me would be RNY. We traveled to Dr. Freeman because we could tell from his web site and all the previous patients that he was a wonderful christian man and sees what he does as his ministry. We are very thankful that we were led to him and his staff. I also found out that our wonderful Blue cross insurance that we pay a large premium for each month excluded this surgery for our policy. Seems they only cover companies that have over 50 employees. Thanks again Blue Cross. So we will have to self pay to have the surgery that I am sure will save my life and in the long run save Blue cross a lot of money in other related health care costs. i have so many unanswered questions but very excited about the surgery at the same time. I go for pre op on June 19th and my surgery date is June 21st.
