So I accidently bought some Protein powder Cinnamon Bun , I thought I bought the chocolate. Anyways it is not that bad but thinking I may need to order another flavor as to this one may get old! Any suggestions on jazzing it up? I used some skim milk and ice cubes along w / sprinkle some cinnamon and nutmeg on top to make me feel I was having a specialty drink lol! By the way down 5 lns this morning!

How many if you lost weight during preop?
Chelle Bean replied to baileyj908's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Do you mind me asking what type of insurance you have? I'm so freaking out b/c I have gained from 213 to 221 and afraid my MD will not do the surgery or insurance will not approve me. I have BCBS of AL. I also have terrible hypothyroidism and my medication for this has been increased 2 x since starting this 6 month period. -
Hashimoto's and success with sleeve?
Chelle Bean replied to bhopeful's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My thyroid is also out of whack and on levothryroxine 100 mcg , my weight has gone up in the last 7 months and I don't know if insurance will approve it or not now. I wondered too about the weight loss after surgery because I can't seem to loose any before. I have started my liquid diet now for the last week and have not lost what I need to ..... -

pre opt experiences
Chelle Bean replied to gotosleeve's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm in the same boat! I'm 5'1 started 7 months ago at 213lbs, was told not to loose any or my BMI would fall, and not to gain. Well my Thyroid is out of whack too and I have had my medication increased in the last 4 months and now weigh 224 and was told I would have to loose back down to 213 lbs before my MD would do surgery or if I get approved. My paper work has been sent in I have sleep apnea my RDI is 53 and everything is still pending. Anyways all I can tell you is to watch your weight so you dont get denied or even turned down from your suregon once they submitt everything. Good Luck ...... -

Good Luck! I have been on the phone with insurance and my doctors office so much lately! I was told the sleep study was faxed over yesterday morning. This was supposed to have been done on the 18th but it was not sent. So I hope you and I get an answer this week. Keep in touch and let me know darling. @@baileyj908 -

Thank you so much! I know my husband gets tired of hearing me complain about all this stuff. So happy there is a place where others are going through or have gone through the same situations! Congrats @@Leesa926, and @@Tobeornottobe I have a 3 ring binder where I have marked off all my office visits and what they have asked of me, but I don't have copies of everything. Maybe I should ask for a copy. -

I did on Nov 18th , I guess I will have to go again tomorrow am before I come to work. I have taken so much time off from work for MD appointments and jumped through hoops. Is it really this hard for everyone else or am I the exception? -
What if I gain in the 6 month pre op?
Chelle Bean replied to samantha614's topic in Insurance & Financing
I hope I do not get denied I gained 8 lbs during my 6 months my thyroid medication has been increased twice since starting this process too? I started my liquid diet already b/c I don't want to be denied or the surgery put off for gaining. I have lost 4 lbs since Friday! -
I've been on liquids protein shakes and broth with protein in it for 3 days now and I smell amonia in my sweat???? Has this happen to anyone else?

I totally understand. It seems like a lot of us here have insurance that is changing at the first of the year. I'm on my husband's insurance and he informed me that because their raises are increasing so is the insurance. Our deductible is $700 but I don't know if that will be changing as well. I really wished that I could have gotten the surgery before the year is out as well because of the increase but I don't think that its possible simply because I am just starting the process. As for your pre-op diet it sounds like you have aome good choices to keep you feeling full which is what I was worried about gor me. Because I take two blood pressure meds I am afraid of my blood sugar levels dropping too low. I will ask the surgeon about this during the consultation. I can also imagine how hard it is smelling food as it is being prepared. I am going to have to brace myself for that one lol! Oh Chelle I am so very excited for you! Please keep us posted on your progress.
