  1. Hi Sarah, I have a question. How soon after surgery did you feel normal enough to go back to work? I asked Dr. H how long to take off from work and he said a week. A WEEK!!!!?. Is that enough time in your opinion? I've read on the boards here some people taking up to 4 weeks off. I do have a office job and the no lifting more than 15 pound requirement should not be a problem, but I don't want to push myself either. Because I do work for USPS I'm required to have my surgeon's office fill out FMLA (Family Medical Leave Act) papers, which will ask for how much time to take off. I'm thinking I should have him fill out two weeks and if I feel better in one week I'll just go back. I think to cover my bases it's better to ask for more time than less. Thanks in advance for your opinion. How are you feeling? Sawree I guess I asked more than one question. LOL.

  6. Angie, I meant to ask you how are you feeling? You use to post often and I haven't see any words of wisdom from you in a while.

  7. Angie, I think you are doing a excellent job losing weight. Over 50 pounds in two months. Just think if you continue to loose at that rate you will have lost 100 POUNDS in 4 months. That's just crazy. I'm watching you becuz I have about the same amount of weight to loose as you, so I'm kinda seeing how much you loose and comparing where I might be in one month, two months.... etc. you get the picture. I love that you have lost 50 pounds in two months!!!!!! KEEP UP THE EXCELLENT WORK.:thumbup:

    Waiting...is going to drive me crazy!

    Hi guys I'm in the same boat. My paperwork was submitted to Federal BCBS of Kansas City on Wed. the 14. My insurance case manager at my surgeon's office told to expect a 2 week wait, but Stephany you are right the insurance people would know before your surgeon's office so what not start calling to find out. GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE!!!! Deb

    Federal BCBS Wellmark Iowa - Approved

    Hey Iowagirl. I have Federal BCBS of Kansas City. I have a question. What was the timeframe from the surgeon's office submitting the paperwork till you getting your letter? My insurance case manager from my surgeon's office submitted the necessity letter on Wednesday the 14th and I was wondering how long it took to get approved. Thanks. Deb
