Tbaby there is no scripture for elective surgery in the word. But if u believe that god directs your life, every phase of this process should be lifted up in prayer. I ask the lord his will be done, not mine and block it if it were not for me. I had surgery on 10/29 mininmal pain, no clots or leaks this is truly a gift. For our bodies are his temple and I am forever grateful to god for the gift. Be blessed

congrats on your success I know you have worked very hard. My doc advised me to not get plastic surgery until 2 yrs after surgery. Just a fyi

First I would like to say congrats. The for me was minimal i was sleeved 10/29 and today I am just now feeling myself. I allowed myself no activity until after my post op doc appointment which was the 7th and he only cleared me to drive. He said about 3 mos. post op for certain activity please check with your doc. The only advice I have do not rush it, take your time and rest so when you do return to your life you will be healthy and strong. Good luck

Sry you are feeling defeated, but there is hope i am a bcbs *** patient my surgery date is 10/29. There is always more than one way to skin a cat. You have to be proactive use the internet find doctors in your area that do the sleeve, hospital affilication etc. Then go back to your pcp with a name of the person you want the referral to go to. My pcp did not initially refer me my hip doc(who i see every 2 yrs) suggested a docs name. Work it that way. Dont give up keep fighting your current insurance you have does pay i received a copy of bcbs medical policy under type its called "Medical Necessity and Investigational/Experimental original policy date 4/14/70 revision date 4/1/11. Good luck

Amen

congrats i received my approval today waiting to schedule labs and surgery date.

Take a deep breath I know how bad you want and need this procedure, but you want them to be as cautious as possible. You want your surgery to go smooth as possible, and so do they. It will happen good luck I have not gotten a surgery date yet, but I am looking somewhere in Oct. But I dont know your religious but the word of God says be anixious for nothing. Better safe than sorry. If you want to speak offline I have not idea how that works. Good luck

Hi there I have not had surgery yet, but I am excited. Be positive you will succeed, you know people do not understand that there is nothing easy way out regarding this process. I think most of the time people have the feelings you have because usually we think of surgery after we have been dignosed with some problem. Well for us we have had a dignosis for a long time and now thank God there is a tool that can finally help us. I think you are very smart to get this procedure done while you can. You know our weight can cause so many many other illnesses. Be encouraged
