  1. I have waited 8 almost 9 months to hear the words you've been approved...I worked hard at what I needed in order to be blessed with having my surgery done on Nov 27th without no cost to me...this surgery means alot to me...my health is at risk if I don't loose this weight...people that are suppose to be my friends and support are bringing me down with all their negativity and words of I know people who have had a gastric surgery and they died from it, don't do it...why would you discourage a person that is 2wks away from surgery...why would you do that at all...(sighs) I was so excited when I got the news that I was approved and now im frighten because I have 3 kids to live for...im still gonna do what I have to do and keep my faith...im not gonna let them get to me...it just hurt my feelings to know that they are not supporting me on my journey. ((

  13. You can't have medicaid and bcbs...they will take your medicaid away....you are going to have to jump through hoops to get your surgery through medicaid...believe me im almost at the end of it all lord say the same...did your doctor diagnose you with anything other than being overweight because you have to have a medical reason...
  14. I will say after reading all the post on here I have really and truly got discouraged...I have 2 months to go before I have my paperwork sent in to have my surgery...I am now hoping I have took all the correct steps...I dont wanna have to start all the way over again 6 months is a long time...I have fluid on my brain I have been this way since 06 when I was diagnosed with pseudotumor cerebri...my weight is keeping this fluid on my body...I dont wanna go blind again omg that is one of the worst feelings in this world...I just wanna get the weight off so that I can move on with my life....GOD IS IN CONTROL IT WILL ALL WORK ITSELF OUT!!!
  15. Im waiting for Baylor Hospital in Dallas Tx to let me kno if they will perform my surgery...ughh I wish I already had an answer...im ready to get the hard parts of this over with and go back to living life again...well I guess I will find out something here soon. ((
