  3. I live in Lansing but will be getting my procedure done in Flint. [emoji4] How about you? Sent from my SM-G930V using BariatricPal mobile app
  4. My insurance was submitted last week and I'm also in Michigan!!! [emoji16] Sent from my SM-G930V using BariatricPal mobile app
  5. Sooo excited! I'm glad I'll have a surgery buddy to share things with!! Sent from my SM-G930V using BariatricPal mobile app
  6. My information was sent to my insurance company on Tuesday, January 23rd. I was told it would take 2-10 business days to get an answer. My doctor's office said they would like to try to schedule me at the end of February or latest mid March. How exciting!!! I too am getting a little impatient. I've started this whole process 8 months ago. I'm now 10 pounds less than what they required me to be at. I'm scared of gaining it back.
  7. I'm in the same boat. They won't schedule my surgery until all the weight is lost. It's been very difficult for me. I've tried everything and I'm stuck at 4 pounds lost. Sent from my SM-G930V using BariatricPal mobile app
  8. Thank you very much! I'm glad I found this app. I feel it will help a ton too! I'm excited for your consultation! Let us know how it goes! [emoji6] Sent from my SM-G930V using BariatricPal mobile app
  9. My aunt has done this surgery so I know where my mom and some of my family stands on it. It always bothered me while she went through the process. They always felt like she was too "lazy" and should've done it on her own. Now I'm going through the same health issues and I'm hiding it from everyone but my aunt. I just want to get this whole process done. Im looking forward to your updates! Sent from my SM-G930V using BariatricPal mobile app
  10. Then I feel it will be a lucky day! [emoji4] Just concerned if they will approve after having pancreatitis due to medications I used for Migraines and to controls muscle spasms for my Bells palsy. I was also treated for h. Pylori (sp?). This all scared me but with the other health issues I have going on, I'm sure it cannot get any worse. I feel awful being so young and having so many issues. Doesn't help when my mother has never supported me so I cant tell her. Sent from my SM-G930V using BariatricPal mobile app
