ksgypsy

I try to be careful with my words but posting on social media is taking a chance that I may unintentionally upset someone & I apologize for that. It obviously wasn't my intention. But I did learn and I appreciate your explanation of TN. I had not heard of it before. It sounds horrendous beyond words. I have had many Migraines lasting months as well as cluster migraines that made me question the quality of life. I can't begin to imagine your pain.

NovaLuna- Many years ago my trigeminal nerve was removed in an effort to relieve my Migraines. The beneficial effect lasted less than a year but others had better success at the time. It was experimental- a Plastic Surgeon had discovered a significant percentage of his patients having forehead lifts who also had migraines reported no longer having migraines. Lost count of how many meds I've tried- like most with chronic migraines. Now on Topamax- 200mg daily & monthly Emgality injections.

Thank you all for your advice- I appreciate your responses! I will check with my insurance. I definitely don't want to jeopardize having the surgery but if I can lose some prior without being penalized; that would be beneficial as well.

Kimberly3- I'm thinking neither losing nor gaining would be most difficult...

Getting started here in KS and have Anthem BC/BS-CA. Current BMI is 44- no co morbities. My question is- if during the Doctor monitored diet & exercise 6 month period, my weight dips under the qualifying 40 BMT; is it possible that I'll become disqualified? Just wondering... Thanks in advance for any input!
