I lost my insurance a week after surgery. I wonder how that will all work out? I misplaced the damn bill so I don't even know who to call. I'm a mess!

My signature and ticker is gone too!!!!

So when my insurance was approved I got a call. Then the admitting/pre-op nurse from hospital called me 2 days prior to surgery and said insurance covered all but $2500 which I had to pay up front. I paid that on the morning of, had my surgery, and went home. Last night I got a bill for $3800 not including the $2500. Ummmmmmm.... I maxed out my care credit card for that original $2500 and I'm not working due to a layoff. What should I do? Can they really bill me for that much additional stuff?

mine took 4 days. I was expecting two weeks so it was very cool!

I don't like how I click current and I have to shuffle through the current threads for other surgeries. No offense to them but I don't really care about their stuff lol.

Oh yeah... KALE! that will get you goin! Lmao.

Took a few weeks but since I've started walking every day and getting at minimum 80 grams of protein and 64oz of water I've been regular!

I lost a ton of hair in the shower in week 2 and 3 but I started 5000mg of biotin daily. Some people swear it doesn't work... But I've noticed a difference so I'm gonna keep up with it!

I've been out of the house all day and I just stopped at Wendy's with my friend. I haven't ever had their chili before. It's delicious and band friendly! Woo hoo!

Thanks no fills yet though I may ask about one soon. I'm getting hungry 3-3/12 hours instead of 4-5 hours now.

Amazing!!!!

Down 30.6lbs as of this morning. I could cry. I've worked SO hard and I deserve it. YAY me!

Im hungry between meals. After 3 hours. I think I want a fill. I have an appointment the day before thanksgiving but I'm going to call Monday and see if they'll do it sooner. Im a month and a half out from surgery. Hopefully she allows one!

I hate that one! Ugh!

Congrats!!! You will do great! Keep us posted!

Slim fast has a lot of sugar? That seems odd as a pre-op diet. You may also not be getting enough calories so your body could be in shock and holding onto everything it gets.

GNC total lean - 25 grams per bottle Isopure pre made - 40 grams per bottle Muscle milk light - 15 per carton (small milk carton like box)

Yes!! Walk. I'm doing 2-4 miles a day and Ive noticed a huge difference in how I feel and even how I look

I met my boyfriend of a year and a half online too!

Down another 2.8! Weighed in at 258.4 this morning!! Total loss so far 26.6

I would call your insurance company. For me I had a 6 month waiting period and I completed all the requirements during that time. Your surgeon may have his or her own requirements in addition. Everyone is different. Good luck!

Never heard of them. Thanks!

You look great!!! I find myself confused on what I want my goal to be. I've always been thicker and so I thought 180, BUT that would mean 80 or so more pounds and I think losing 80 from what I am/look like now I'd be a skeleton!
