Letter was sent for approval on Friday!



Recommended Posts

I'm very nervous, my BMI is 46 and I have Humana, I do not have high BP and I'm not diabetic. I do have Migraines but don't think that will help much, I also have a family history of obesity and cancer. I was without insurance for about 3 years until Jan, when we talked w the insurance company at the start of the process they said there was no pre existing clause. I really hope that my approval letter comes soon and I can get this ball rolling. I do have my EGD scheduled for the 12th of June and hoping to do my Pulmonary Function test while I'm in town (about 2 hrs from home) I hope my letter comes soon and I pray it is an approval letter!!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
