  1. I think it is a great snack. I have heard of a lot of WLS patients that eat them. I want them just for the crunch that I have been missing.
  2. I have BCBS AL and was approved. I used fb photos because they are dated. It took a little longer but it was approved. If your policy states they will accept photos, there shouldn't be a problem. Good luck.
  3. I seem to be hungry every 4 hours or so. It's like I can eat 3 oz of cream soup but hungry again I'm a few hours. Do you get satisfied on the liquid diet?? ( 10 dpo.) Sent from my LG-H740 using BariatricPal mobile app
  4. I refused to get excited about my surgery or even think about it until I was approved. This has been such an emotionally up and down journey. I don't know if I could have taken it if they would have denied me..lol Good luck to you too!
  5. I used Facebook pictures because they are automatically dated. Good luck to you!! I'm sure you will be fine. ?
  6. Just got a call from my Insurance coordinator. I was approved! I'm going to take a break from stressing for a while..lol
  7. Thanks. I am trying not to worry. This whole process has been an emotional rollercoaster..lol
  8. I have BCBS Alabama through local government. They require 3 years documented weight history or dated photographs. I spoke to my insurance coordinator and she doesn't seem concerned. They scheduled my surgery and said to get ready.. Just makes me nervous.
  9. I have done everything.. I have passed all the tests. I have jumped through all the hoops.. The only thing I do not have is 1 year of my 3 year documented weight history. I didn't go to the doctor in 2016. I was told I would be denied the first time I submitted and that it was normal. The insurance coordinator told me I could submit dated photos for the missing year. That was almost two weeks ago. My surgery has already been set for June 15th. Has anyone else had success using pictures for weight history? 5'10" CW 328 BMI 47
