I was sleeved on 9/26 and I must say i feel like I'm healing pretty well. At times I feel like I didn't have the surgery.. I feel hungry almost every 1-2 hrs and I can eat smushy food.. Is this right??

Hi, So I finished my 3 month pre op. The dr office called me today and said that most likely my insurance will not cover the surgery since I had gained 17pds.. I am devastated!! I explained to them that I had been taking Phentermine for over 3 years and as soon as I stopped taking it I have gained like crazy!!! I feel like I have changed my eating habits.. At times I feel like I was starving yet I still gained??? I am frustrated at this point. I was suppose to have surgery next Friday September 26. But the lady at the doctors office said she is most positive that my insurance will deny it. Has anyone had this problem where they gained weight while at pre-op and what did your insurance say?

Congrats, when are you scheduled?

I'm sure it will get approved..

I sure will, thanks

Well I got approved and will be having surgery this Friday September 26. My husband and I will be going thru this together.

***UPDATE*** Just got a call from my surgeon, and I've been approved! My surgery will be this Friday September 26..

Weight gain.. My husband gained 4pds I gained 17.. Still don't get it.. We both did it together he ate more than I did.. I can't blame no one but me.I've been going thru stress & have been taking Phentermine for the past 3yrs and once I got off it it all went down from there.

I've been reading a lot of comments saying that hope your employer purchased a waiver. What is this waiver for? What is it?

I feel you.. My husband and I were going to go thru this process together. He got approved and I didn't. He is going to start the whole liquid diet tomorrow and ask for me to help him out?? Really, does he not see I am devastated!! I feel like I'm being selfish but give me a break!! I am hurting, I was really hoping for the Sx to be together and be each other's support.

No, not yet. My husband and I were suppose to do the sleeve together. We were going to be each others support. Surgery was scheduled for this upcoming Friday September 26. He already got the approval from Aetna with a 4pd weight gain. I called my ins on Friday and they stated it was still in review. My husband starts the liquid diet tomorrow and he wants me to start it too. He states everything will be okay and approved. However, I would hate to keep having hope and then Aetna comes around denying me. I have all emotions going on. I hope I get an answer soon.

My dr'a staff are positive it won't get approved. However, they said if is denied we can star the program again. ????..

Yes Phentermine is awfull and addicting!! I really wasn't prepared for this.. I just hope that I will get approved and I will definitely not give up!
