I have so many different feelings built up inside me I just want to cry. Cigna told me it was because of my bmi which is 37.5. But with Cigna it states they will approve based on a bmi between 35-39.9 with one comorbidity or more and I have high blood pressure as well as a heart condition. You would think they would want to help me. Right? Now they are saying my doctor needs to request a peer to peer review. Has anyone else experienced this and what is the normal outcome and length of time? Thank you all for being there and listening to me vent. I appreciate it.

I worked from home the next day and did fine. I went on a 500 mile round trip on a Harley at day 17. You should be fine. Just be sure to get up and walk especially with travel to prevent blood clots. I was off pain meds day two as the pain was totally tolerable. Good luck!

Banded July 30th. Love reading the posts and so glad we have each other!!!!

Banded July 30th. I too gained 2 pounds and was told it was the iv fluids they pump in you during surgery. The first 2 days were the same for me. Just take smaller sips and day 4 was really when all the gas had left me and I was able to sip fluids without discomfort! Day 8 now and my stomach growls constantly but I feel great! Take it one day at a time!
