@Kileybug34 how long did your insurance approval process take? I have Federal BCBS and it seems to be taking a long time everytime I call still in review. Its only been 7 business days but it feels like a month!!...
:wacko:

Hi TObebanded-I have federal BCBS too. I started this process in October..I'll be banded 14 Feb. This last month has been scheduling, but from Oct to Jan...it too a while.

Hang in there. God has you! :)

I seen the dr for the first time on January 14th and they submitted papers last week and I called to check the status today and they told me approved..I am guessing that was only about a 7 day wait. I was impatient too. In insurance the squeeky wheel gets the oil...keep calling everyday.

Thanks! To me gas pains just make you feel full and tight. I have pain around my shoulders and collar bone. The best way for to describe it is the feeling when you run too much and you get that pain on your side and find it hard to take deep breathes. I've been up and around walking, taking gas-x and using the spirometer they gave me. All of those things make it better.

Figured out my insurance delay.. I will have to have 1 more (5th Vst) with the Nutritionist since she had a vacation planned she felt that it would be ok to see me 9 days sooner on our last monthly visit.. (So not the case according to insurance!!) :wacko: and to top this she is still out of the office until Monday 02/11 looking a lot like March to me unless some miracle happens!! I have come along way what's another month?? Still wishing everyone who has a Feb13 date the best will keep in touch! ;)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
