Hello?

I'm in Murfreesboro also!

Franklin here!

How has the surgery helped??

Starting my journey. 5'10 250 35.7 bmi. Fibromyalgia, arthritis, back problems, high cholesterol, prediabetic.

Is there any rules about having knee surgery before sleeve? Or any insurance rules?

Right now I think I'd be happy with a large and no X's with it! Lol...I'd be perfectly happy with a 14. A 10 is my ultimate goal!!

Totally!!! Can't wait for more choices in clothing. Not to be told when asking where is the women's sizes " there in the back by the elevator" and like nothing to choose from!

Yes I too am 5'10" and an apple shape!! Started at 257.8 and have lost down to 170.4 pounds. I now wear a size 6-8 and a S/M. It is absolutely fantastic!!!

I can't imagine wearing a s/m shirt how exciting!! I have some old old jeans and pants I've been saving for years! : )

I can DEFINITELY deal with 3 months! I probably should stop stressing and let the providers guide me... :-)

Yes they will tell you all the specifics and should help you.good luck

I am still early in my process... I have scheduled my consult and one of the support group meeting this particular doctor requires attended... I am tempted to schedule a future appt with my PCP for clearance :-) but they get you in pretty quickly anyway so I have no worries for that. I just really want to get this started by sept/oct!

Me too! I figure its gonna take a little longer than 3 months till surgery. I just can't fall below 35 bmi.

Awesome job ladies! I'm excited to get moving. Right now I'm trying not to bite someone's head off bc of lack of food on this liquid diet.

Hey I'm 5"10 and 250. Bmi of 35.7. So I'm right on the line. Just started the process. Can't fall below.

Hello

I have bcbs nj. Just started the process. I have to do 3 months of a program thru Vanderbilt.

Anyone have or heard of the insurance process with BCBS? I called member services to make sure it was covered and under what qualifications but I read other BCBS plans have required a 6 month waiting period!?! I PRAY not!!! I'm too anxious to get this done and not that I'll lose my courage in 6 months but if my mind keeps racing and obsessing like it has for the last month' date=' I may not survive LIFE for another 6 months!!!![/quote']
