  1. Ohhhh ok I get it now. I was like huh? Your husband is your brother? Lol! Was totally confused.
  2. What do you mean brother/husband idea?
  3. So I just remembered when I was at my lowest (160) like 6 yrs ago and my pelvic bones being more apparent... And literally being bruised when f**king. I couldn't do a lot of moves--scissors, etc. bc I couldn't take going hard... Lol!! I kinda don't even care about all that if I could just look hot again in some panties/bra and be able to have my stamina back for riding. That confidence is what I miss most about sex--it made it so much better bc I'd be willing to try anything!
  4. No prob! Figured it was a good price for somebody plus everything else CVS brand was on sale too.
  5. There's actually studies out now saying having the sleeve helps PTC bc of getting the weight off the patient.
  6. Just wanted to let you guys know... 50% off all CVS brand products + additional 25% off + FREE shipping.
  7. That's great! I'm having to appeal for my insurance but was wanting to find others that have had the surgery and PTC. To see if any success with weight loss
  8. How did your surgery go? Did it "cure" your pseudotumor?
  9. So peer to peer got denied. Medical Director said I don't have BMI of over 40 for last 5 years... Although the language of my plan states "morbid obese" for last 5 years. When I googled this I saw many medical offices and studies say morbid obesity is 35+ BMI if the patient has co-morbidity. Does anyone know where I could find some documentation the insurance company could use to support this claim?
  10. 5'2 - 224 lbs. Fighting insurance to get this approved.
  11. Did you ever slow down on your weight loss?
  12. I think we all thought something different haha or should I say hehehe
  13. Yessssss can't wait! I was never skinny but was more "thick" than my now fat and remember how much more confident I was in bed and how more limber and easier it was. Btw, your pic is really pretty.
  14. So update... I went to Dr. Today to find out my weights from my primary physician were never received by them and never given to my insurance, so mu insurance only had my weights after I had lost some lbs. for 2 out of the 5 years... I had to request those files to be faxed over gain today. Dr. Wanted me to write note with all these weights documented along with stating that the BMI the medical director said I am currently is inaccurate. He was puzzled how she even came to that number. I'm 5'2 and 220 which is 40.2 --- she had said I was denied because I wasn't currently over 40 and was 37.4. :-/ I called my insurance again and they gave me benefits criteria like I knew before and said I had to have my Dr. Send in information in to request a new peer to peer review since this one never happened. I then called my work and got a copy of the REAL criteria based off of my summary plan blah blah... It doesn't say anything about co-morbidities at all! It only states I need to be 40BMI currently. Show I've been "morbidly obese" for 5 years from physicians. Over 21. And go to in-network hospital. I meet all of those once the insurance gets my correct weights for 2 years and gets weight for my 5th year. So, there should be no reason not to be approved now, but knowing how much of an issue it's been I think the ins. Is going to say morbidly obese is 40+bmi... I just feel it coming so I looked it up and many medical practices say bmi 35+ is morbidly obese. I also called my job to tell them the issues I'm having with insurance giving me wrong information, denying me for inaccurate information on their part, not returning peer to peer calls, not sending me denial letter until 1 1/2 weeks later and then saying I only have 14 days to request peer to peer. My job has a 3rd party company that looks into all of this to make sure I'm receiving the care I need. Specialists should call me back Monday or Tuesday next week. Hopefully then all this bs can end and just approve me because I meet all criteria and we can all move on. Sad bc I work for such a Large company so I know they don't want their employees going through this with insurance. I'll post back again... I hope that this can help someone else. Don't give up or get discouraged.
