  4. Ok not to many people from Wa on here that I've found. Looking for someone who has had surgery around here..
  5. Highmark blue cross/shield. Are you from Seattle?
  6. 33% I can lose weight. I do every spring/summer then September hits and I gain it all back. My weight loss and gain has been the same the last 20 yrs! It has taken a toll on my body and health. That's why I was hoping to get the surgery in September to help not to gain.. which will be my 6 months needed for insurance. I get to a certain weight about 29% BMI and I cannot lose anymore.
  7. Thanks I'm going to look on line or call
  8. Yeah I'm thinking mine is fully covered too but I had other insurance at first and they said they cover [emoji817] as a secondary but I lost the other plan so hopefully it pays [emoji817] as the primary too
  9. I have the same insurance. What is your out of pocket expense?
  10. Do you guys think I will get denied if I started the process at 36 BMI and now after 2 months I'm down 20lbs and still have 4 months before surgery. Should I keep losing or just maintain? I have comorbities
  11. Are you only having fluids? What is your pre op Diet?

  20. Thank you for sharing. I have 50 lbs. to lose and people say I'm crazy to have this surgery but my heart and mind tells me to do it. I'm 41 I've struggled with gaining and losing this weight the last 20 years. It's time to make a change. Keep up the great work!

  22. So sorry. How is your health now?
  23. Why would vitamin D levels affect surgery?
