Melissa1234 got a reaction from ProudGrammy in What a morning!
Had my first surgeons appt this morning. The PA tells me "your insurance doesn't cover the sleeve"...I thought I'd been punched in the face. To make a long story short I met with the surgeon asked him all my sleeve questions. Then I came home and called my insurance with the billing code and IT'S COVERED!!!! My plan must be the exception! I was so upset i could barely hold it together in the dr office when I though I couldn't get the sleeve. So stressful! But good news overall. And what a list of preop tests! Holy moly! I don't even know where to start!

Yes that's the one. I know I'm not allowed to have it. I called my NUT to see if I could have plain lettuce to get me by. Not allowed . I admire all of you that stuck to the diet. It's very difficult! I'm still on board, as of now! Thanks to vst!

I guess I will have to start weening off the coffee as the surgery date gets near. It going to be rough.

At my 3rd week after surgery I felt great, and still do (sleeved on 1/2), so happy I had this surgery, totally a new lease on life.. good luck!

Taking full body pictures, retake belly dance lessons again without being the biggest one in the class, zipline, inner thighs not touching each other, feeling hip bones, returning to original hour glass body shape, start to do things again that I avoided due to my weight. Date again.

Melissa1234 reacted to johnlatte in weight gain during 6 month waiting period
My insurance company wanted to see significant weight loss at each monthly interval. they required my nutritionist to send them a report. They were pretty strict and pretty clear that if I didn't stick with the program that they would deny my requests. Not all INS are like that, but I've had similar experiences with BCBS being pretty hard core about stuff. Good luck!

Melissa1234 reacted to NewKristen in So tired!
I have had pretty good energy since the surgery. Tomorrow will be the big test, as I return to work. My doctor's protocol includes a very strict pre-op diet that is caffeine free. Thankfully I followed that and got my caffeine crash over before surgery or it would have been so much worse.
