  1. I don't think I slept for more then 3 hours (with Ambien). I was in and out of sleep the whole time. It wasn't because I wasn't comfortable...the wires didn't bother me at all. I just couldn't get into my deep sleep. Has this happened to anyone else - do you think I will need to re-take the test? I'm pretty sure I don't have sleep apena...
  2. I would ask your surgeon about that. I am thinking it through, and I don't see how you would have *much* of an issue. I would definatly wear a bra always to help keep them in place (like you did when you first had surgery - assuming you did) - for awhile until you can start working out. I would also suggest working out your chest now more pre-surgery to help build new muscle, so you won't go too far backwards. Does that make sense??
  3. My insurance does cover and I do meet all of the criteria. I also have to go through the 6 month weigh ins and have a few tests done. I was just wondering how long it takes to get through the process. I'm worried about that part - also worried about for some reason getting the run around.
  4. Hello all. I’m new to the forum. I am half way thru my 6-month weigh in’s and hoping to have surgery in Jan 2013. Does anyone here have United Health Care? I am trying to figure out how long it takes to get approval. I am hearing so many stories and most of them are scary. Also – I understand that I need to write a letter. Does anyone have advice on what to write? Should I pull on heart strings or just state facts of my diet history? TIA~
