African American Sleevers



Recommended Posts

Hey ladies hope all is well!! Sipping those fluids.. im sipping beef broth as I type one ounce every 15 min.. its actually better tasting then chicken broth. Any who I was having some incision pain.. and tightening.. so uncomfortable. Ugh my surgeon called and checked on me.. (I love him) and resting cause this body is tired!!. He also changed my liquid pain meds because the loratab was causing a rash. I hope every one is in good spirits!!!

Hi

Today, I called the coordinator and she submitted my case to BCBS il on the 12/27

So, I call the insurance and they denied me. Smh

Saying that my policy recently excluded WLS and the diagnosis of Obesity.

My weight is 257. Now I'm getting the run around. Because I believe most of their info isn't true. They have told me since last July that I'm covered.

Could it be that the plan changed January 1st. Can the insurance grandfather approval since you started the process prior to January.

That is a good idea. But waiting for the insurance Supervisor to call me back. My Hr lady was not aware of any changes. My coordinator is slow with follow up too. So this is frustrating been in this program since June /12.

I think my diagnosis that the coordinator sent in is wrong instead of obesity, it should be Morbid

Obesity my bmi is 42.8. I'm very frustrated.

Thanks

      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?
