So everything has been moving smooth then ...... I find out my surgeon that I was going with will no longer be working with the practice. So ok that's fine I have another surgeon on stand by. That's taken care of. My problem was getting the six months of weight management from my primary care physician. Oh by the way she is out on Maternity Leave. someone slap me. Well I was told by her that the physician she is sending her patients to could handle everything for me. Well all they had to do is submit forms to the surgeon stated what my weight was every month and goals, progress, and recommendations. Do you think that happened. No. She sent the weight and dates. What the hell??!?!? The surgeon office called saying they more info. I called the PCP office , you know they said ummm we are not sure what your doctor recommended for you. Ummm what?!?!? It's in the computer system. Hellloooooo. I said don't worry about it. The papers are signed right? That's fine I will fill it in myself. Have a good day. I don't have time for all of that. Are they insane. The insurance company will not accept blank forms. Smh Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I walk a lot at work because of my job. It's different from my other job where I stood a lot but not as much walking. I have lost about 8 pounds since I posted this . I can tell the difference. I appreciate all the help. Thanks again guys . Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm sure I will know soon enough. However if I had to pay anything I think they would be telling me by now. We will see once papers are submitted. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

They cover the surgery full coverage if I meet the requirements. And I do. I was just confused. I honestly thought all BCBS plans were pretty much the same. Thanks anyway guys. She shut the conversation down. Good night Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

The lady who commented above you said that she has BCBS too and she didn't have any problems . Explain what hoops? What was your starting weight? What did you do for your requirements? Did you do everything asked? What state are you located in? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Not that I don't think I will get hungry but supposedly you should not get hungry with Sleeve. I also hear it takes longer to loose the weight. I'm already planning my vacation and I don't even have a date yet. Lol so I just want some of this weight off . Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Ok. Gotcha just wondering. My surgeon is still allowing me to make up my mind what surgery I want. This is life changing so it's a hard decision. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

What do you mean by head hunger? My mind went everywhere with that. Im not sure what that really means. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I heard with the sleeve you all do not get hungry. Is this true? Also has anyone had the sleeve and weighed over 350 lbs before surgery had much success in the first year? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

You sound just like me @@bostonmama minus all the caffeine I don't drink much of that anyway. I usually always have Water. My thing is as much as I drink water I don't feel like it's enough. I've tried several Protein drinks and my favorites are Premier Protien and Pure Protien both I can get from Walmart. I have to get my Vitamins. However my sister sales the spray vitamins so I'm going to ask the nutritionist about those and if I can use those I will . That way I do t have the issue with trying to get pills down. I hear they are great for Bariatric patients. Well best of luck to you honey. I was just being honest about everything you know. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My sister had Wls 2 years ago. She uses it. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Yeah honestly I'm not worried about the loose skin. I just don't want to loose the shape I have. If I do then ok I will just deal but honestly I just want to be healthier and smaller. I have so many other things to worry about but looking like Teyana Tayor. she looks good though. I just know my body will not look like that after being this heavy all my life . My face I pray don't change I've always been gorgeous . Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Ok. So for me my doctor didn't really say it was a six month diet. However I weighed in every month. I went up I went down. She said that was fine that's what the insurance company wants to see. So she didn't really push me. I just have to do this on my own. Like always Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
