@krisrpaz. I have BCBS AL & I was denied because my BMI was only 40 or greater for two years, we appeal & they still denied. Then January 1, they no longer covered WLS.....so frustrated 7 months of OOP expenses down the drain. SP $15,300. PLEASE provide doctor's information for Tijuana. I'm desperate! Thanks

Can we have protein shakes on the liquid diet?

LOL @@HMR!!!!That is going to be ME, a few accidents. Glad you are recovery well.

Prayers for a safe & speedy surgery & recovery. Think about how sexy you are going to look afterwards. You will be just fine....hugssssss

So upset & hurt right now. For seven months, I have attended supervised weight loss classes, followed all guidelines from my nutrition & was looking forward to a healthier me. Only to be told that, since I have only had a BMI of 40 & above for 2 years with no co-mobs that I am not a good candidate. I am pre-hypertension & 100 plus pounds over weight.

Good luck!

Congrats, wishing you a successful surgery & a speedy recovery.

Hang in there, just a few more days to go. Good luck on the 17th. Keep us posted @ terosiamoore#yahoo.com

@@michellebutrick The appeal process has begun. Spoke with my surgeon's office, my PCP & my acid reflux doctor today. They all are getting their paper work together. I have FAITH, know that this minor setback is for a major comeback. Just praying it doesn't take me a year of appealing. My surgeon told me to keep my pre-op appt for the 18th as scheduled. Good luck to you!

@@nprcowboy I too am so sorry that you are having to go through so much misery, to become a healthy you. I have a esophagus gastritis, so I had to do a EGD as one of my clearance for surgery. My EGD was done on 11/18, I was told on 12/1 that my biopsy was positive for h pylori. My GI doctor order amoxicillin 500mg 4 times a day & doxycycline 100mg 2 times a day. I will be finish taking them on the 15th & my surgery is schedule for the 29th. Hearing your ordeal had Freaked me out!!!! I just called a left a message for the bariatric nurse to call me. Wishing you a speedy recover!!!!

Ladiec2, so sorry to hear of your misfortune. After my EGD, I was diagnosis with bacteria on my stomach. I started 12/1 taking 2000mg of amoxicillin & 200mg of doxycycline a day. My surgery is schedule for 12/29. My sleeve doctor didn't say this would affect my surgery. Good luck, don't be down, think of this minor setback as a major comeback.

@@Ladiec2 I was also drowsy after my EGD. The anesthesia did not wear off until 6 hours later.
