  5. Weight loss stall

    goaldigger33 replied to Cdm624's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
    I'm in the same exact position!Sleeved 3/27 and lost about 26lbs but now I'm stuck. Apparently there is a "3 week stall" that happens to a lot of people. I'm hoping it passes real soon.

    goaldigger33 replied to FindingCarrie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
    Same thing is happening to me right now!! I'm exactly one month post op and in the last two weeks I've only lost one pound [emoji15] My weight stopped dropping right after I started my mushy food diet. I'm only eating 2oz 3x a day as per my dietitian. Hang in there! We're in this together [emoji4]

  21. Getting BCBSIL approval

    goaldigger33 replied to BubblesOhSoSleeved's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
    I had a similar experience! My doctors office told me that insurance required 6 mos of MSWL but I called to confirm and they don't require it. Just a BMI over 40 and psych eval. I also live in VA and employer is in Chicago. I was recently approved for surgery and the whole process took a couple of months. Good luck! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    My insurance approved me for surgery and I really didn't have that many requirements. They were BMI over 40 and a psych eval. I also had an endoscopy per my surgeon. Insurance approved so I'll be getting my surgery date soon! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App My insurance approved me for surgery and I really didn't have that many requirements.

    Today I received the amazing news that I've been approved for the sleeve! Wahoooooo I'm so excited right now I'm also kinda freaking out because it's happening so quickly. I started seriously looking into this back in June/July. Of course I've been contemplating it for years but I'm still nervous. I know this will be the best decision I make but I also know that it won't be a walk in the park. Any words of wisdom are greatly appreciated! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

  35. Psych eval tomorrow! Scared.

    goaldigger33 replied to evagria_the_faithful's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
    I was worried about this too because of my history with anxiety and depression. Meeting with the psychologist was actually quite pleasant and the questions were relatively easy, it was more of a conversation. The second part was the online quiz that was sort of like a personality test if you've ever taken one of those. The one thing she told me she was looking for was consistency between the questions she asked and the online test questions. Just be honest and you'll be fine!
