I received a call today at work from my coordinator at my surgeons office. She faxed over my packet to Cigna today. (YAY) I'm am super excited!!!! I can't think of anything that they could possibly want that I didn't put into the packet. If I'm defined it'll be out of pure hatred LOL. I have a BMI OF 62 (holy smokes batman) Hypertension, GERD, Mild sleep Apnea, Hyperthyroidism, and Chronic Back and Joint Pain. I have done every study/test under the moon, I have my past five years doctor's notes, and letter of medical

necessity from my PCP and Surgeon. The ONLY thing I am concerned with is the way my old doctor wrote up my 6

month supervised diet. She kinda lumped it all together in one statement. That she had treated me for obesity from June 2009 thru January 2010. She included three office notes and a chart that I had from my personal trainer that listed my monthly weigh ins, blood pressure, heart rate and

pulse. She did talk about my dietary plan and what I did as far as working out was concerned. She basically summed up my six month diet into two paragraphs. Does anyone here know just how "particular" Cigna is with the approval process?

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
