Recommended Posts

No, sorry I don't have that. I have IHA, which I did find out I was approved!!! Waiting for a surgery date! I wanted to have it in May seeing I have high deductable which I have already met. Mu plan restarts June 1st. My very first appt I told them about the time crunch and then dr caravetta shattered his ankle. I know it is unseen circumstances but Jackie called me the other dY and told me that they wouldn't be booking me till June! So now I will have to pay my family deductAble to have the surgery! I was not too happy!

Hope you get your surgery date soon! We with bcbs of wny (medicaid based products) have to wait for the green light from ny to let ecmc take our insurances.... So even though I was recently approved, I'm on a waiting list until this happens (as others are before me). But I'm hoping/praying for a July surgery... *fingers crossed*

My prayers have been answered!!! I received a phone call this morning and surgery is scheduled for May 27th. They were able to get me in before my new insurance plan kicked in and I would have had to pay my deductable!!! So excited!!!

My doctor is submitting to insurance today for approval. Anyone in the Buffalo area have BCBS and how long did you wait for approval?

      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?
