Calling All Fingers And Prayers!



Recommended Posts

Ok so now i have good news. My surgeons office got their act together and submitted my paperwork on 11/30. I called Aetna to confirm and they infact have the paperwork. The Nurse even told me that I was next in line to be reviewed. Soooooo... Fingers crossed everyone! Hopefully i will hear something by the end of the week. Honestly, if it takes another 2 weks im fine with it. I am just glad it made it to its destination.

Too funny. I looked into surgery 10 yrs ago also. No way for the bypass and the band isn't for me. Almost did the sleeve 3 years ago out of pocket. But it was too risky if I had complications after. Only because that would have been out of pocket also and I was doing it for the wrong reasons. Now my ins covers it and I'm doing it for all the right reasons. I'm doing it for me!!

Well Ladies,

Thank you all for your fingers and toes that were crossed for me. My family sent prayers and well wishes as well. I called Aetna this morning and guess what?!?!?!?!?! I AM APPROVED for Surgery!

I submitted on 11/30 and was approved by 12/7 even though my file wasnt in hand until 12/6!.. 1 day turn around time. You cant beat that..

Good Luck to you all and I cant express in enough words how much your support means to me.

      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?

      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
