    vogue got a reaction from BLERDgirl in Period during surgery, please help!   
    I was on my period during surgery. I was required to take everything off. No pads or tampons during surgery. You lay on that blue puppy training pad thingy. You wake up with hospital panties and a pad on.
    They are medical professionals. They've dealt with menstruation a lot. it's a big deal to you, a no brainier to them

    vogue got a reaction from evette305 in Aetna   
    I too chose the 3 month option instead of the 6 month way... the difference is basically twice the amount of medical visits to various providers in a shorter amount of time... between logistics and and red tape, it was still 5 months between my info seminar ( March 29) first consultaion (April 17) until my actual surgery ( Aug 30) ... would've been longer but my surgeon had a cancellation....
    my advice would be to schedule EVERYTHING early if you can... when I called for Psych appt, I was told there was a 3 month waiting list.... that could've pushed my date back a LOT but then, again there was a cancellation... I was a PAIN IN THE BUTT calling everyday trying to get squeezed in where I can.... I scheduled all of my future NUT appts at the same time,sometimes on the same day as my weight mgmt classes as these were usually in the daytime hours & I didnt want to keep taking days off work ..
    anyway, back to your original question:
    http://www.aetna.com/cpb/medical/data/100_199/0157.html
    Member must meet either:
    criterion 1 (physician-supervised nutrition and exercise program) for 6 consecutive months
    or
    criterion 2 (multi-disciplinary surgical preparatory regimen)..
    3 weight management classes, 2 NUT classes ( one private, one group) plus pysch visit...
    I did 1 Weight mgmt class per month and for 2 of those months I also had one NUT class each)
    if you have receipts for 3 months of consistent gym membership payments, Aetna accepts those as 3 months weight management classes....

    When I slack on probiotics, I get constipated. When I take them regularly, my bowels are happy

    Gut bacteria changes huh?? I can't help but think 80% of stomach being gone is a huge player in this game but I also think it's boosted by the use of Probiotics in some manner.

    And still have as much restriction as I did 2 years ago
    I reached normal BMI in 10 months. I'm 5'8" and I've been 145 pounds or under for over 18 months
    I just cooked a 4 ounce steak and made 2 heaping spoonfuls of cole slaw. Half of both is still on my plate and I can't take another bite
    Now of course I can wait an hour and graze to finish it but instead I'm saving it for dinner
