Thank all of you... Your prayers are much needed.... The waiting game is most definitely nerve wrecking

My paper work was sent off today to CIGNA. Not sure how long it takes to here back but I'm excited!!!! Please say some prayers for me. I'm praying that this procedure will be affordable for me and I don't have to wait long... Ready to say GOODBYE TO HIGH CHOLESTEROL

You look awesome are you still losing or maintains at this point? You look smaller than 157 more like 110

Wonderful and I am so proud of your grandfather! Do you have any before and afters? I'm in the process of waiting for all results to come back and be submitted to my insurance

You look wonderful!!' How far post op are you?

Has anyone had a high Platelete count? If so what did the doctor do to get you ready for surgury? My paper work is on hold due to one of my labs reading that my platelete count was 456

God Bless! If He bought you thus far He will see you through your journey... The good the bad and the beautiful triumph

I went for my UGI appointment today and had to go twice because Dr. Balette wanted more photos... Anyway I have one more appointment the nutritional consult and I have completed every appointment I was asked within two weeks of my 1st consult... Say a prayer for me that everything is speedy

Everything will workout for your good... God would not allow you too come this far just for you to allow that door too close... I can't wait till I can put up a post saying I'm approved

That's awesome... Have you already met your deductible? I'm very happy for you.

I'm a little lost... You had to pay the whole 3000 or did you over pay... Although my Max out of pocket is 3500 the insurance will still pay 80 percent after I have spent 3500 they will pay at 100 percent

For a family of 4 our deductible is 4000 and our max out of pocket is 3500... Once 3500 is reached then they pay at 100% until then I believe it's 80% but what they are not explaining to me is that my deductible comes out of pocket so would that be considered part of my out of pocket expense.... I have almost 600 a month taken from my checks to pay for this premium if they are expecting me to pay out 7500 before they cover me that's crap... But if so I'm trying to find a back up plan like a loan company or something... My credit is not the best

Asr

@ Mrs. Hockey yes it is an under statement... Lol I wonder what happens at the consult?!? I'm ready to get the ball rolling.

Thank you sooo much... Your message was very comforting

Hello everyone!!! Like others I have been reading post and looking at before and after pictures and I must say, everyone looks awesome! I have learned a lot and I am ready to endure this journey. The good, the bad, and ugly. Tomorrow is my consultation and I'm scared out of my mind with worries that this process will take forever. I have Cigna insurance and I'm a St. Luke's employee, therefore I don't have to wait the six months that some do. I'm wondering will they tell me my out of pocket cost tomorrow or what?!? The anxiety is nerve wrecking

Well we will definitely keep in touch rather on here of through text... As of now I weight 274 my goal is 160 I can't wait to see the day... I have been that size since 6 months after high school and that was in 2003

That appointment is for the 6th the very next day... When I go on the 5th I think he will write the order for me to go to the nutritionist... After that I don't know what will happen or how many times I have to see each of those people... I'm just ready to start my journey

Your the best thanks... I can not wait till the 5 gets here... I'm ready to know what I have to pay so I can scrape up as much as possible because I haven't exhausted my deductible yet... Are you from Houston
