Lol sometimes i dont like to read stuff in here specially when i read and see other ppol having same issue or worse experiences with their insurances...lol it stresses me out more when i read other ppols negative experiences.....it sucks cuz we pay our insurances and when we need their aid, they try to scrutinize everything!.,,ughhh!...killing me!...the wait is bad enough and then more hurdles from insurances!...

You can even sign up for a grocery tour and the nutritionist will be the one to go and guide you with what food to buy and what not...this grocery tour is limited due to grocery policy so its a first come first serve to sign up..so if u dont get to sign up like lets say today then u can just sign up for the following scheduled date...

Wow im happy for u that u already have a date!...i betcha ur excited????

on my consultation day i weighed 217 and im 5'1/2" tall and my bmi was 41.7.....i was on top of all the requirements thats on my "to do list" that the surgeons office gave me and they actually gave me 1 month to finish all the stuff like the sleep study, labs, psych eval etc...then after a month i was scheduled to meet with my surgeon again and he reviewed all my stuff/records and he was like wow youve done all ur appointments so now we are going to create a folder for u and it takes 6-8 weeks to get the auth from insurance...my surgeon also said that an endoscopy report is missing in my folder, medical clearance and 5 yr weight history....ok i had an endoscopy done like 4 yrs ago and he told me thats fine and they dont need to do another one just the records....i also told him im worried that i dont really have a record of my 5yr weight history cuz i havent seen my pcp....surgeon said just get wather i can...i didnt like my pcp back then cuz o was already heavy and i requested a B12 shot for energy just for me to get a kick to go to the gym and she said i dont need it and that my b12 levels were fine so i was like ughh....so when i started this journey like march 26,2015, l actually change my pcp and this pcp was actually the one that evaluated my sleep study result....anyways, the surgeon coordinator called me two days ago and told me that all they are missing from my folder was the medical clearance from my pcp and that was taken care yesterday...so whats next for me?...is this now where they submit everything to insurance for approval?....ughh this is torture....as i keep reading others testimonies regarding insurance denials, this is really giving me anxiety and it worries me to death that i will be denied too...

I need a buddy too

YAY! If you want to be my buddy I'll be yours! We could be a trio of buddies! How about it?
I want to help encourage both of you, and get the same in return. Bounce ideas and thoughts off each other, and maybe have a shoulder to cry on when times get tough. I'm going to friend both of you, and hopefully this can work out for all of us!
Ohhh I forgot to say, I'm on my 10 day liquid diet. It's going fine, try to keep busy. It helps. Keep drinking that water! I already can tell that warm things...tea and broth help fill me up more.

Hey Tammy,
Tomorrow is your day, congratulations! Wow time has gone by so fast. I completely understand and agree with work. I have to tie up my work load by Sunday. I'm only planning to remain home for 1 wk. I'm a social worker, I don't have any lifting to do. It's more mentally draining and so I am worried I may need more time. My supervisor has informed me to come back when I'm ready, but I don't won't my caseloads to get to out of hand.
I want to get back moving as soon as possible too. But enough about me, how are you feeling? What time are you heading to the hospital? I hope I'm able to chat with you before you go in but if not I wish you all the best and a speedy recovery. You will do well! I will be checking on you.
