Does anyone have BCBS of Tx that was approve for the surgery. How long did it take to get your approval? My paperwork was submitted by my doctor office and I was told that it can take anywhere from one week to 30 days.

I just found out that there's two parts of getting approve for surgery which I didn't know. So I was approve for the first part the surgeon office have to send in some papers so that I can get approve for the second part and set a date for surgery. I am so excited I can cry lol

You can always call your insurace company and find out if your approved. Just call the 800 number on the card.

Yes call the 800 number and tell them you want an update on the status if your case. I know it's been 1.5 week and I was call every other day. I just want to get this going. I know that I reach far and am not giving up. I want to set my date for July. I want to know how it feels to be able to tie my shoes and not be out of breath lol

      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! 😞
