Approved by BCBS Fed in under 2 weeks
Robyn1030 replied to mswanda9577's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Congrats! I have BCBS Federal and am so worried. -
I have Federal BCBS, which requires, among other things, a two year history of being morbidly obese. I have a unique situation. I am a wheelchair user and cannot stand. Because of this, my primary care physician has been unable to weigh me. My VSG surgeon's office was able to weigh me with an accessible scale. However, I am concerned that I do not have the 2 year history documented. Thoughts?? Ideas??
-
Thanks! Great ideas. I'm sure it all be fine. Just trying to figure out what I can do proactively.

BMI not showing in profile?
Robyn1030 replied to Robyn1030's topic in Website Assistance & Suggestions
Thank you! -
Why isn't my BMI showing in my profile? I don't see a place to add it.

At my first meeting with my surgeon and nutritionist they told me to begin taking a multivitamin and calcium citrate. I have been doing that for a week or so. The last few days, I am having stomach discomfort and loose stool. Is this a side effect of the vitamins?
-
Oh ok.

I'm from Mass too! Where did you have your procedures done?

Thanks! I'm actually pre-op...just beginning this journey.

Hello, I'm just beginning the journey but love Newton Wellesley's program. I'd definitely recommend it! -
Hi! Does anyone have experience with Newton Wellesley Hospital?
-
Hello, This week I had my first appointment and after talking with the surgeon, I am leaning toward the sleeve. I'm considered a "lightweight" with a BMI of 37. I'd love to hear people's experiences with the sleeve. Thanks!

Leaning toward a sleeve
Robyn1030 replied to Robyn1030's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Thanks everyone!! It's an exciting and scary journey! -
Hi! After lurking for the past few weeks, I wanted to introduce myself. I went to an informational session recent and have my first meeting with my surgeon February 6th. I have been overweight since high school. I'm a wheelchair user which likely is partly the reason (limited exercise). I don't actually even know what I weigh because my PCP has never been able to weigh me! They will weigh me during my first appointment. Trying to decide between the sleeve and bypass. I'd love to know why people chose the sleeve. Looking forward to getting to know you all on this journey!
