How long did it take the insurance co to approve it?

Do you have Bcbs Anthem or another kind?

I would love to see before and after photos

I'm so worried about becoming pregnant after my surgery. My hubby and I do not want anymore kids AND I don't want to gain the weight back. Do you know of anyone who got pregnant after surgery, and did the gain lots of weight back?

That's how I feel. My family is either making negative comments or giving me the silent treatment like they want to say something but they know if they do I will lash out on them lol. It is amazing how soooo many people look down on this surgery!! 

It hasn't hit be yet. I still don't believe it.

Wow thats great Do you know what her BMI was and was she exercising a lot ?

Omg that was fast. I can't imagine the joy and excitement you must be feeling.

Can't wait to see before and after pictures.

How are u feeling?

I can't believe I got my date for 2/19. I won't believe it until I'm in that hospital bed. Hopefully there's no bumps in the approval process. I'm guessing these people know what the ins companies need since they do this on a regular basis. I've even read on this site where it take several weeks to get an approval from the insurance company. Worried, happy, and scared all at once!!

How do u feel?

All that worrying for nothing. Test were all normal.

I am not telling anyone outside of family. I had a family member tell me yesterday that it's not fair that I eat corn curls and then get to have'em sucked out with surgery and she has to exercise to get rid of the pounds. My family says that I am taking the easy way out. I have def been getting attacked. The less people know the better.

Omg !!! Are u gonna cry? I might cry when I get my date. I'm so nervous about my stress test and EKG weds. That will be my final clearence. I will let u know if he gives me clearence. I have a fast heart beat and had been taking diet pills for a long time.

My surgeon is shooting for next month provided we get all the testing results back soon. I'm so excited but scared. I keep thinking its not gonna happen because I want and need it so bad. The cardio is the only thing I have doubts about tho. Over the last couple months a couple times a day I find myself gasping for air. It ably last two seconds. I have also gained an additional 20 lbs in the last two months and have been major stressed because I lost my job (also two months ago). I think it's from my weight, high Bp, etc. I was told about 10 yrs ago to stop taking diet pills because of something with my heart.... Forgot because it was soooo long ago. But I remember it was something minor. Most docs are against diet pills tho. I think if something was wrong with my heart I'd know it. I feel fine besides the weight gain, back pain, and headaches from high Bp lol.

Wow!!! Thank u for telling me ur story. That made me feel much better. You have truly taken away some of my stress and given me hope. 

I actually have to do the treadmill test and it last for 2 hours ( sad face ). I'm going to try to stay positive. Thx

Hi all, I am so nervous because the cardio doc said that my heart beat was to fast. Therefore he has to do a nuclear treadmill stress test, and a echo test just to make sure everything is okay. I am sooo scared that something may be wrong due to taking phentermine for years. I am just about finished with all my testing and I can't sleep thinking about what if he does not give me the clearance for surgery because something is wrong with my heart. Last thing I need is to be this overweight and have a heart condition. Wednesday seems soooo far away. Anyone else experience this or have prolong usd of diet pills?
