Hi. I'm Andy. I've struggled with weight and yoyo dieting my whole adult life(I'm 46). The only thing that has ever worked was wegovy. It took away the food noise and allowed me to get my life back. Unfortunately two years ago, my bcbs insurance decided to change the RX tiers and now it would cost me 700 for one month. Very frustrating and that is after a tier exception. Ugh. Why is the medical system the way it is? Anyway, I decided to look into bariatric surgery. My insurance covers that, with just a 450$ copay. Make it make sense!! 🤣 Anyway, I am now in the process of starting my surgery journey. Looking forward to hearing other people success and experiences! ✌️

@jpsdadrulz - welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I moved your post here:

- Bariatric Surgery & Weight Loss: Meet others & Share https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/bariatric-surgery-weight-loss-meet-others-share/

The reason I did this was so that you could connect with many others who've also been on the bariatric surgery journey. Hoping they might tell you a bit about their experiences as you look further into bariatric surgery. Please meet @zidbuck @hope2lose23 @loveylouise @herbi13 @roch and others.

What is your next step in your bariatric surgery journey, jpsdadrulz?
