  1. My insurance asked for 6 months info before I could send in paperwork for approval.. yesterday was my last appt I faced over my paperwork and they lay at the surgeon office tells me oh I just found out you need 6 months exercise log.. I'm so mad I even asked her 6 months ago if that is required and I was told no so now that I have done everything else this comes up on the last day before I should submit my paperwork. Idk what to do. I need help do I just make something up or do I just not do Idk? Has anyone else have to do an exercise log that can give me an idea of what insurance is looking for?
  2. I am half way through my 6 month diet. I've done all the needed appts and support groups. Now the only thing I'm nervous or scared is can I afford it financially. I have my own insurance blue shield of ca ppo. I don't go to the Dr much so I haven't meet my deductible this year and I guess my insurance only covers 70%.. Is anyone else in my shoes or have been and can tell me options I have..
  3. Wow.. thanks everyone for the app tip. I already downloaded it. Now if I'm using the app as a food journal how can I get that info to print out so it can be sent with my paperwork to get approved?
  4. Hello everyone, so I was told for my insurance bs of ca they require a food Journal does anyone have any ideas on how I can do this? What should it say? Does it have to be detailed to how much I ate in grams or or portion size? Did anyone else have to do this? Please help thanks :-)
  5. Hello everyone, So I went to a seminar yesterday thinking I wanted the lap band then coming out considering the sleeve instead. I have Kaiser and I know it's hard to get them to approve things. Does anyone else have Kaiser? If so what steps did you have to take to get there? I also have blue shield ppo but there is a lot out of pocket needed.. I'm 23 with bmi of 42 I don't have any other health problems but joint and back pain..
