Blue Shield Of California Ppo

I just checked with my doctors office and found out I'm approved by the insurance so they'll call me in a few days and schedule everything.

I just wanted to keep everybody informed. :-)

I just got a deferral letter stating they cant make a decision yet because they did not get any medical history, pertinent diagnostics, treatment/outcome of treatment on me. So angry at this piont. I will be at my PCP office today...

wow! that's really great news :) glad you got approved.. you must be so excited?!

Yeah, but it's a tough call. I have just lost 15 pounds on my own, and my wife would rather I just do it on my own.

But, I have been down this road before, and I know that no matter how much I lose (I have lost over 100# on my own before), I won't be able to keep it off.

So, yeah, I'm excited :).

Aww.. I know your situation.. I have loss weight just about 100 pounds too.. and gained it back.. loss 10-20 pounds after that and gained it all back too.. I think the sleeve is a great idea for us :)

my kids and hubby feel the same as your wife.. but I'm sure they will stand by our sides with our final decision :)

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
