  6. That's what I was thinking .... That's what I'm going to do... Thanks
  7. Hey guys, I am less than a week away from surgery and I think I'm having symptoms of sleep apnea ... I had my pre-op appt on Monday and I told my doctor my symptoms and she agreed with me but says she's not worried... Have any of u guys experienced this..?? I read sleep apnea and surgery is dangerous !!!
  8. We need a little ticker!!! We are on countdown!!!! 5,4,3,2 it's almost time!!!????????????????
  9. I live in maryland and my insurance covers mine 100% as well.... I'm so excited and scared!!! I've had surgery before but I watch a video of what happens during surgery and it freaked me out...
  10. Awwww... Yeah a liquid diet would kill me!! But you are getting a head start on losing some weight and we gotta do a liquid diet after the surgery any way!!! Where are u from?! Are u having surgery in the states
  11. Congrats ladies!!! I'm so ready!!! Do u guys have to do a pre-op diet... I only have to do 1 day
  12. July 3rd.... I'm so excited and scared ????????????
  13. No I wouldn't use that... I also have been taking phentermine for years on and off!!! EHP will try to find anything to deny you... They don't want to spent the money... I explained to the president of the hospital that I've been an employee for almost 10 years and it's unfair, that they were treating that way... Do u work at hopkins or bayview
  14. Cool... I did read that... Well good luck and if u have any more questions feel free to ask... So is that all u have left to do?! All other requirements completed?
  15. So u dont have to complete 6 months of classes because u did weight watchers?!
  16. Omg it was crazy!!! So my BMI is 42 with no health problems ... I completed my 6 months but during the 6 months , I gained 6 lbs... When my info was sent to EHP, they denied because I gained weight... Ok cool... So then that says if i take 3 more months of classes, loss some weight and keep a journal, they would approve it... Again, they denied me... Stating that, I had mc Donald's once and a glass of once... So I was going to give up, because I thought it wasn't meant for me.. But then I realized how much time and money, I've invested so I emailed the president of the hospital and I CC hope marsh, benefits director... The next day my decision was overturned.... My advice to you... Journal, lose some weight... I would advice maybe a pound or 2 a month at the lease... Ehp has another medical director and since he's been there, he's been denying everyone's claim....prior to that, everybody was approved.... It's crazy...
  17. Yup EHP is extremely tough right now... I fought like hell to get approved ... My surgery is on July 3rd now... Finally
