I am pretty new as well. I love all the information and support from this group!!

You will do great!! Good luck and I look forward to your updates.

Woo hoo!! That is great news!

I am still preop, but I can relate to the feeling depressed. I am an emotional wreck! Lol. I am sure this little spell of not losing will end soon and you will continue to loose. Good luck! And keep your head up!

I am with you waiting on dr to send everything to insurance company. I work in insurance billing so I know what they are dealing with and I don't want to hassle the lady at my surgeons office. But, it is so hard to be patient. I hope you hear something soon,

Good luck with surgery in the morning!

Thank you all for the feedback. I am sure this feeling will pass.

I am waiting for the 10 days processing time for my ins company and have been reading a lot. I am really flipping out about loose skin. I know it seems real crazy since I let myself get over weight to begin with. But, I am so worried about what my husband will think of me. He says he loves me no matter what!! He is pretty amazing. So, I guess my question is, is loosing the weight worth having loose skin?

Good luck!!! I am waiting to hear from my insurance company.

Good luck!!!

Good luck. My paperwork should be submitted the first of next week. BCBS IL. I am so nervous and excited at the same time!! I hoping I don't have to wait several weeks!!

I hope you hear something soon! Keep me posted!

I just meet with my surgeon this afternoon. I have BCBS of Illinois and I live in Louisiana. My surgeon, Dr. Daryl Marx, and my PCP are getting everything together to submit for pre-authorization. I weighed in at 241 today. Talking with Dr. Marx was very emotional. I felt I had to hold back tears during the entire consult. It is very scary and exciting all at the same time. But I am ready for a better quality of life and committed to make this lifestyle change. Has anyone else had any experience with BCBS of Illinois plan with UPS? They apparently have very different criteria than other corporate plans. I was curious to how long the process took with them.

Congrats. I have my first meeting with my surgeon tomorrow. After that will be just waiting on insurance to finish their process.
