Technically should be able to get reimbursed with appropriate documentation. Do you have an HSA credit card? Have clinic run a charge of &10 to confirm it will allow it. Those credit cards are tied to approved "types" of locations. So you can't use it at a gas station for example

Well I had some bacon for the first time since my surgery june 24. Well I won't be doing that for a long time again. I like it really crisped up and baked. I had one piece and it sat like a lead balloon for hourssssssss

One day she was offered a reality show

Glad to hear it went great!

Amen @@VSGAnn2014!

Yup funny. Am gonna miss bacon. But maybe not really. Actually don't think I will to be honest

Once your new insurance term starts the new rules apply. So if the new one start January 1 have your doc file asap and get it done in January

I think the bigger you are the faster you lose. That may seem like a lot in 11 days but I've seen people post that. And no your prior post does not answer my question. I am sorry you feel lied to, but I don't know what you were told and what you expected so I can't comment on that. I feel like you're holding back for some reason because we may be confused? I saw this was your first and only post. A lot of folks on here have tricare as you do and can be pretty understanding and provide you support. So I hope that you get the support you need. I hope you got written instructions for your diet or a nutritionist to support you. If you didn't read this information as it will help you. http://www.peachtreebariatrics.com/docs/Gastric-Sleeve-Patient-Manual.pdf Good luck on the journey.

I told everyone everything However you could have an ulcer but that doesn't require emergency surgery. Gallbladder would be a good bet and with it comes a change in diet and lifestyle. You can have gallbladder attack with a hernia discovery and repairs

I love my governor but I think he needs a sleeve and soon if he wants to be ambitious

I suggest you switch insurance if you can. Have Cigna and had no such ridiculous requirement of 2 years. Also remember that aetna has differing policies applied dependent on what your employer purchases. Try a spouse policy of possible. Or ask your employer what other choices you have at open enrollment

You pay your deductible to either surgeon or hospital depending on who gets it charged to them. They have to send the bill in to get paid and then they send you a bill. I would not pay up front at all

Can you clarify what you mean by calling the surgical unit? Are you calling the hospital where you had surgery? You need to call the doctor If he works only out of the hospital and isn't returning calls. Call the coo at the hospital. I am not sure if you are active duty and so this makes a difference on where you receive and obtain care? I've never heard of calling the surgical unit at the hospital after surgery. They can't help once you're discharged

I went to old navy got a couple things. Work clothes I got two slacks and one skirt for now. This will do. All my larger stuff is on eBay. And seems to be leaving the house at a steady pace. I've made about $300 so far Paid off a small balance card and deposited the rest so I can go shopping

Remember the policy on this is set by employer. You may have same uhc policy but diff employer likely a different rule. All about what the enployer wants to pay

At a month I was getting 300-500 and but thought I was on target. I am now almost 4 months and getting around 800-900

Well I travel for work but no plans on dallas. I also am pushing to work from home. A lot!

Oh RJ I just want to come and hug you. Your been through so much. I can't relate. I can understand. I know you will persevere through this and come out where you envisioned. It's just taking longer than it should Hugs from New Jersey

And thank the surgeon who helped get her here

Micmt You have access to a provider rep ask to speak to them or have your issues referred. Customer service reps can't provide you this info. The proviser rep will give you a fee schedule if you ask further many insurance companies have portals. And the larger ones like aetna Cigna bcbs provide you access to their fee on that If the carrier has third party vendors I suggest you use that specific terminology with customer service folks to determine if you have to use a vendor. Be clear

She loved to excercise now

I OWN THIS DECISION! I don't say my doc this my insurance that. I made this decision. It was the right one for me. I don't look that big? You're right I look awesome when not stepping on the scale. Thanks to Lane Bryant and Calvin Klein and jones Ny for making great clothes that help me look not that big But guess what? I am and I am suffering for it I own this decision It's the right one for me I made this decision I appreciate your continued support Negative opinions are not required. Keep them to yourself or get out of my life. One person has left and she lost 80 pounds still at 310. Misery loves company I posted this on my facebook the night of my sleeve when I woke up

You don't need "friends" like this Misery loves company

And that derailment was unacceptable
