i dont really have many co morbidities or any from what they consider! i have a bmi of 50. i have acid reflux, high cholesterol, pcos, hypothyroidism and fatty liver. thats really it. they really dont consider those co morbidities although they are all weight induced. my moms a diabetic & so is my other family members. ive been on metformin in the past for being pre diabetic but im not considered one now after gaining 60lbs (crazy right?). so im just praying that my insurance does approve by monday!

agreed.

sweety, you didnt upset me! lol

so i cant stop thinking about getting denied! im so nervous & scared! my hopes are through the roof. i cant imagine being denied at this point. i jumped through HOOPS! im at my pcps office for what seems like EVERY WEEK! i pray that i get an approval monday morning. i dont know what to do with myself. between surgery & other personal issues, i dont know. im going crazy!

i had wrote that & i think when u quoted, it just posted. its ok!!

i wondered to myself if i would have surgery if they gave me those options. lol. i think id tell them to bill my mom or something lol

congrats to you!! i pray you have a speedy recovery!

wdf i wish i wouldve gotten mine that fast.

*****UPDATE***** i just called my insurance coordinator. she said she has called my insurance and opened up an authorization which takes 48hrs & then they will call her & request all the forms. so its a "waiting game". she said she will give me a call next week. so im not going to panic! really, the only thing that worries me at this point is them not approving me because i submitted weights for the past 6yrs (excluding 2008 because i didnt visit a dr) & the first few yrs i had a bmi of 38. my bmi now is 50! my bmi has ranged from 40-50 in the last 4yrs. i sure hope they approve me. most insurances only require 24months of weight history. hopefully ill be ok!

WELCOME ABOARD SHIP "I CANT WAIT ANY LONGER!!!" lol. i wish they gave you answers the same day! do you have a tentative date? mine is dec 20th. they submitted my papers yesterday.

who r u telling? i want to pull my hair out... but im going thru so many personal issues that my mind is only set on that so i guess thats a good thing

ohhh ok! thats awesome!!!

really? well then thats good to know! im glad you didnt cuz i hear it sucks!

i think its a matter of preference. i dont think its NEEDED but maybe its safer? i dont know lol

congrats!!

i realized after reading others stories that people who have drains have more pain and more trouble. i hear the drain is very painful so that may be why you had that issue. my surgeon doesnt use drains so i pray that i have a good experience. good luck to you on your journey & keep us posted!

i keep reading these stories! they take away mostly all my anxiety!

good luck to you and god bless you! you will do just fine. sip sip sip walk walk walk! <3 im praying for a speedy approval for my dec 20th surgery date!
