So, I was denied again by TriWest!

I was told that 10 other people were as well in the same office!

Umm yeah, TriWest will no longer be the insurance for the military as of April I was told....Hmmmmm!

Hey!! Maybe the new insurance will cover it and ya know, actually approve this for you come April!?!?! At least you were able to find some kind of explanation, I think I would've driven myself crazy trying to understand and figure out "why not?"

Crystal, that's what I'm so afraid of....NOT being covered! But I need to stay positive, I NEED this surgery like years ago!

Karen, do you have TriWest? I just found out that Brian is no longer there? UGH, he did my last Peer to Peer!

You've got a great attitude girl! Keep it up, good things are coming!! May not know the reasons why it hasn't worked out yet, but I promise ya its with some purpose...maybe your new coverage will be better than what you have so it will turn out to benefit you more in the long haul?? From what i've seen on here you are always so upbeat and positive...don't let this get you!! And I understand needing it years ago...it took me so long to wrap my mind around actually doing this...but now that I see it as the tool and help that it is...I have been having to practice extra hard on patience cause its like c'mon already....couldn't we have done this like yesterday!? Hang in there girl...

Obamacare created an entire new bureaucracy called ACOs. Accountable Care Organizations. They work with doctors, hospitals, clinics to keep healthcare costs down. Expect less and expect to pay more. Just sayin.

I totally hear you, TMF! Just awful!

Karen, I'm going to send you a message.

Crystal, thank you so much for making me feel better! Words really do go far!

XOXOXO

      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.

      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!!
