Excited And Nervous At The Same Time



Recommended Posts

I'm soooo excited to share to a group of people like me that I received my surgery today....yeeeaaaa!!! After going thru my 6 month weight management and then being denied, I finally got my date today for Oct.5. I've been a Google freek all morning reading different post. So I decided to just go ahead and join in hopes that others testimonials can be aa good help to me as well as mine once I'm well on my way. Thank you in advance for your help!

"THANK YOU"

I was denied the first time because my of my BMI. When the papers were sent to the insurance company, the incorrect BMI was sent over. And with the ins, you have to be a certain BMI to be approved.

Hello and thank you ever so much and I'm so looking forward to it. An added focus for me to stay focus is that I'm getting married June 2014 so I'm looking forward to the look I envision myself in the wedding gown that I fell in love with!! Thank u!

OOh my goodness that makes me mad! Im glad you got it straightened out!! I wish you well!!

My surgeons office probably thinks im nuts because I always call and double check to see if they have everything they need as of now, and if its accurate lol. I called just today to make sure they had my sleep study stuff AGAIN because last week I asked and they had not recieved it (this was 2 weeks after my sleep study)!

I am super paranoid! lol

Lol.....u sound like me! I've done that as well as called the ins company to see what they could tell me as to why it was denied. I knew it wasn't anything they could tell me, bn as I have worked in a doc office b4 and know about the inns companies, but I just tried my hand. But yes, I stayed on top of my primary doc office to get my monthly papers faxed to my surgeon office. The good thing is, if something didn't come or was missing they'd call me. I'm really looking forward to having this procedure done. I get Migraines and lately they have been really bad. My neurologist told me that this may help me and that the hospital in which I'm having my surgery done us an excellent hospital with great docs. But good luck to u!!!

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

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
