I just called my insurance company to check on the status of my approval/denial. The told me that a letter was mailed to my dr on 3/25 stating that I met the requirements for the surgery!!! I'm SO happy and SO nervous!! :thumbup:

Congrats! It's a great feeling, isn't it? I never thought I'd ever see this side of the fence but I'm glad it's over. Just remember that after surgery is going to be a little tough. You'll probably be asking yourself why you did it but that's normal. I'm not trying to scare you, just prepare you. In the end it's worth it. It's going to take a least a few days to get back to feeling somewhat normal. Hang in there and every day gets better! :thumbup:

Thanks everyone for your kind words! I have a minor roadblock in my way right now, but I'm faithful that it will be fixed as well. When the drs office called to re-verify my benefits, they found out that for some reason my benefits were cancelled from October 2009-December 2009 (or something like that) even though I used them during that time and been covered by this policy since July 2008. It was an error on the part of my employer that they are having to work out between themselves and BCBS...otherwise, my pre-existing condition (morbid obesity) will not be covered until December 20, 2010. I look forward to posting a positive update to this tomorrow!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
