Haven't taken pain meds since Surgery day on the 18th!

I did today also! But my cycle started before I left the hospital Wednesday so just to get over this hurdle would be amazing!

Surgery tomorrow & I am officially freaking out!

My surgery date is May 18 I am in Houston...Good luck to everyone!!!!

YES I GOT APPROVED AND MY SURGERY DATE IS 5/18 NOW I AM JUST WONDERING HOW MUCH OUT OF POCKET I WILL HAVE TO PAY. I PAY 30% OF WHATEVER THE COST IS I THINK WITH MY INSURANCE. HOPEFULLY IT DIDNT BLOW MY MIND....

@@spiritfilled I have BCBS of Texas and it took less than a week to get approved. They have the least requirements out of most insurances, just a Psychological Evaluation and 1 nutritionist visit but I believe your BMI has to be over 38 or 39 but that may be with a co morbidity

Hope all went well @FlabbyNat keep us Houston people posted!!!!

I have BCBS of Texas, and I only had to have a certain BMI, a psy eval, and one nutritionist visit and I was approved. I know each BCBS is different, hope this helps.

@Aria622 me too! I love being able to connect with people in the same city!

@llali82 I hated Dr Now office, and I hated his nurse even more. He is so slow and their office is so unorganized! My first visit with him was weird he came in asked me about my weight issues over the years and told me to read this packet everyday. He also performed my endo...they told me to arrive at the hospital at 6 he didn't show up until 11. I just didn't feel right with him! Congrats also on your surgery, How are you doing?

@@dbrown156 and I was trying hard to get him as my surgeon I've heard great things about him but knowing that I would have left I cant stand unprofessional workers especially dealing with my health.

@@dbrown156 that's good, that was my issues, I wanted to find a place that seem to care, and True Results was great at first but after the 1st visit they really don't care, now they are blowing my phone up because I refuse to communicate with them.

I'm in Houston also! I started the process on 3/3 and will be having surgery 5/11 (hopefully) I was only required to do one nutrition visit and a psy eval with Blue Cross of Tx I started out with True Results-Hated their lack of communication then went to Dr Now (from the TLC show my 600 lbs life)- office was way to unorganized Went to see my current doctor whom I love Dr Mehta with UT physicians and he used all of my testing from the prior doctors. Only thing I had to do was see his nutritionist and get approved which didn't take long.

Just wondering what everyone's Protein Shake of choice is?

@@JaneJaneDoe that's one of my worries...no one at my job knows and I want to keep it that way... Praying all goes well for me and others on here. Thanks for you all feedback!
