My surgeons office submitted to BCBS federal for approval this past monday. I thought that jumping through all the hoops would be the hardest part and that is just so not the case.

I hate waiting. I have never wanted it to be Monday so badly!

I am hoping to hear some good news on Monday!

Last week when we submitted for approval, they asked for a tentative surgery date so hopefully that means good things.

BC/BS Federal is the best. Because you have met all of the requirements, you will be approved fairly quickly.

I freak out over everything, no matter how confidant I am lol. I have my first psyc visit and I'm more worried about that than any other part of the process..I always wonder how often people don't get cleared for the psyc part and if they can ever try again or whatever. Anywho you aren't alone on the worrying part :) good luck!

I was super worried about the psych consult too, but it went really well! Don't be nervous.

I called today and they said it was in the final stages. I asked if I could call back later on today to get the final answer and she said probably not until the end of the week.

Arghhh! Waiting sucks. lol. I'm still gonna call back and see though.

call back and ask if anything is needed, info. also ask if there is any unofficial decision. ask if they are showing that all the qualifiers are met or not.

I called again about 1:30 and they said they just received it. They are annoying me.

I'm calling again now.

      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.

      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! 😞
