  1. I hope to hear from the insurance lady soon. I wonder though how long it will take.
  2. In the end we need to all thicken our skin some bc each of us will face this. But what should be our main focus through all of this is ourselves. I am doing this for me and my family so I can feel better and be a more involved wife and step mom and I have had my mom who is my world get so angry at me for even considering this. In the end they want the best for us and just are nervous for us. Hopefully yours come around like my mom has.
  3. I can't wait either and best of luck to you too!!!
  4. I go to my last class and support group today. I cannot believe after today I will be submitting to insurance. It's been an uphill battle but I am so excited. After they touch base w insurance, which does not have preapproval then I start doing my testing and get a surgery date.
  5. Hi my name is Sarah and I am a married 30 yr old female from Indiana and I'm currently in the process of waiting for insurance submission for rny at Carmel bariatric center of excellence. I've always been a tall and wide person with low self esteem cause ppl called me fat and my grandfather was really mean about my weight even before I started getting heavy. Anyways, I recently got diagnosed w diabetes and this really upset me and my doctor recommended surgery which I agreed on and started my consult at the end of June. I do my last recommendation on Wednesday and then will wait on medicare and the insurance lady to set up a time for my tests and physical and stuff. Just hoping they hurry cause I'm about to bust I am so ready to go. My hw was 304 and I am currently down to 294. My goal is 175 but will be content at 210 lbs. My surgeon is Margaret Inman and I have yet to discuss what her goals for me include.
  6. How long after submission does it take medicare to respond to the insurance people at the surgeons office?
  7. I live in hagerstown Indiana and I'm usually a 3x.
  8. I'm 290 and preop I'd really like to find some for after surgery
  9. Ty Elle. I really don't know much about them
  10. I would really like to try and get some gently used spanx that people have gotten too small for. Anyone have any they would consider letting go of?
  11. I have been trying to find out from medicare if they will pay for cosmetic surgery after wls and have found no info. Does anyone know what their policies are?
  12. I had some invasive questions asked in mine. Like drug alcohol problems, if I ever was abused, if I see a counselor, those were the ones that stand out to me
