  1. Not having to change my clothes in the bathroom before bed so my hubby doesn't see me naked. Not having to run from the camera every time someone wants to take a picture. And yes not wearing boots because they don't fit over my calfs. I did go zip line in jamica and I can't stand looking at the pics they took it's so horriying, not to mention the special red harness myself and the other "big girl" goat to wear.
  2. .did you call and get the approval verdict from your insurance company? Or did you wait for the letter?
  3. Thats what I said too! I did get a lot of questions though.
  4. That's my date too! Pending insurance approval :/ (so, hopefully)
  5. So when you call aetna to check your status who do you speak with?
  6. So, when people talk about calling aetna to check the status of their approval, who are thet talking to? Just the 800 number on the card and who ever answers the phone. I call that number today and they said they received everything and it's pending the medical review. It's all just so confusing. Is it ok to call them everyday? I WANT ANSWERS! Lol
  7. Congrats, I'm very happy for you! Hope it's me tomorrow
  8. I know, mo too, I have no comorbidities either that is what worries me. Keep me posted on your approval. Fingers crossed!
  9. I have aetna, they requested the sleep study and I passed so I don't know if we re-submitted today Or if they just need the results. My surgeons office is really great about just taking care of stuff so I amputting faith in them. I have been working on everything since June.
  10. Me too this is making me sick to my stomach
  11. I'm in the flathead valley MT. But I'm having surgery in Missoula.
  12. Did you have any co morbities? I'm still pending insurance approval and I have none right now except hypertension. nervous about getting denied :/
  13. I love the first name identity, it feels personal. This is personal, it's the most personal part of me and I feel so normal here. Thanks everyone for sharing yor stories. My name is Mandi and i have always been the " big girl with such a pretty face " I work in the beauty industry and I am very good at making others feelmgood about themselves but deep down I hurt so bad, I'm embarrassed and disgusted with myself. I use humor to cover it up but when I go home at night after working with beautiful women, models and local celebrities the pain is alway still there.
  14. I'm pretty sure all my paperwork will be re-submitted tomorrow. The ladies at the bariatric center have been amazing. However I have been going throughnthis process since June. I known that is not as long as some on you, but my bariatric center said this is one of the longest processes they have delt with. I have prayed and put it in their hand and trust they know what to do and they have my best interest at heart.my sleep study results came in today but they won't share them with me until I go into the sleep center for a review. But they did fax them to bariatrics. Please pray for my speedy approval, I'm so nervous. Thanks everyone.
  15. Ginger our stats are exactly the same, and our surgery is scheduled for the same day, what area are you in?
  16. I'm tentatively scheduled for nov 19th pending insurance approval. I'm so sick of being like this I'm temped to start my pre-op now with you. Do you get any solids at all?
  17. I'm from Montana too. Considering if I dont get qualified by my insurance I'm looking into Vegas to. What part of MT are you from.
