  6. So I had my surgery on March 31 with approval from BCBS OF DE. My BMI was 40 with no co morbidities. Then a few weeks ago I received a $2800 bill from the anesthesia dept. saying that my insurance company has denied the claim?? Has anyone else had this happen? My surgeon told me to have them resubmit the bill so fingers crossed.
  7. My doctor suggested I walk even if it's just around the house. My surgery was 3/31 and my back has been killing me. The day after surgery I walked 1/4 mile then gradually upper it every day so as of yesterday I walked 1.75 miles. That has loosened up my back muscles. Try it let me know if it works!
  8. My surgery was 3/31 and today is the first day I feel ok....I got the first full nights sleep in 4 days so I'm sure that have something to do with feeling better. Every sip hurts and taking pills hurts even more. Every day I hope to feel better.
  9. Good luck everyone....my day is Thursday 31st....excited and nervous!!
  10. No...strictly liquids...protein shakes (3 daily) low fat cream soups, broth, skim milk, sf Popsicles or sf Italian ice and sf jello of course. I just hope this week goes by fast! How bout you? When was/is your surgery?
  11. I'm a newbie also....my surgery is next week March 31. Can't wait! I start the liquid diet tomorrow [emoji20][emoji51]not looking forward to that!!! Any suggestions would be appreciated!
  12. Hi Sara, I have BCBS high mark ipa and they will cover 75%. My question is what is a roundabout estimate of the hospital charges? My surgeon told me his fee but he didn't know what the hospital charges would be.
